The Great Reset! (1)

"Valen... You..."

Gabrial spun around, only to find Valen, gripping his last two wings, preventing them from fluttering.

Without a word, right before Gabrial's horrified eyes, Valen ripped the wings from his body.

Tear!

"Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...."

A primal scream of pain echoed as the wings were torn away, blood gushing from the fresh wounds.

Crack... Crack...

His body started to fissure, cracks spider-webbing across his skin, from which an even more intense light leaked.

"Not good..." Luna murmured, her voice tinged with alarm as she observed Gabrial's form beginning to shatter, his eyes now blazing with beams of light.

She cast a wary glance behind and took a deep breath, steeling herself.

Whooooosh!

In a flash, like a comet streaking across the sky, Luna disappeared from the scene.

Whooooosh!

Whooooosh!

Whooooosh!
