Deyanira (2)

Deyanira's hand squeezed more, cutting off my air supply completely. Her face hardened more, those red lips turned down as rage and fear transpired in those bottomless pits of eyes. Fear?!

Then the world blurred around us; the icy wind tore my clothes as the earth grew closer at rapid speed, and branches started to whip past my face, leaving cuts across my cheeks, one just under my eye. None of them touched Deyanira like an invisible shield bounced them right off. She threw me into a tree, the air knocking out of my lungs as my back slammed into the tree trunk.

My body slid to the ground. My pain ricochetted through the bond, and a ferocious howl erupted in the distance.

'Where are you?' Eryx demanded. His voice was quieter as if the distance was pulling it away.
