Destruction

The door to the cabin burst open and Zelda, whose eyes were red and puffy, froze. Hovering before the hull of the ship was someone she assumed to be dead.

"Who's that?" As the rest of the girls came out, Catalina couldn't help but ask as she gazed at the being whose skin was like ash and whose two rugged horns were on both sides of his head.

His jewel heart pulsed and his eyes were pitch black. Staring into those eyes, Catalina felt goosebumps pop all over her body.

Zelda also had the same reaction and the blue crystal squad on the ship pointed their weapons at him but gladly appreciated their defensive position.

"Don't attack!" Medusa yelled before Anna could. Both girls were afraid an attack would cause a series of escalating problems that would be disastrous to the Blue Crystal squad.

Slowly, he flapped his massive wings and landed on the deck. His toe claws pierced through the wooden board, causing three soldiers to move backward.
