We moved in sync, covering each other's blind spots. My shadow tendrils lashed out, creating openings for Talon's blade. In turn, his precise strikes kept the fae from overwhelming us with sheer numbers.
As we fought, I marveled at the unexpected flow between us. For all our differences, in the heat of battle, we moved as one.
My inhuman speed and strength complemented his skill and experience, creating a deadly synergy that the fae struggled to overcome.
I ducked low, allowing Talon to swing his blade in a wide arc over my head, decapitating a fae that had tried to leap at us.
In the same motion, I swept the legs out from under another attacker, leaving it vulnerable to Talon's downward thrust.
The battle reached its peak as the larger fae, ones that towered over their brethren, charged towards us. Their bodies were a nightmarish blend of bone armor, barbed tentacles, and gnashing maws.
