Freyja's eyes looked stunned. Her spear penetrated the ground, creating a crater deeper than five metres, yet what she watched stood on the opposite side of her body: a male figure covered in black scales, thick black horns with cracks pulsating with an amber glow, a pair of black eyes with golden iris staring at her without feeling, and a perfect set of bladed claws on each hand yet able to carry Vela like a princess gently.
