Ren gritted his teeth, steadying himself against the force of the scream. He glanced at Von, who was breathing hard but standing firm.
"One down, many more to go." Ren muttered, his voice cold with determination and heavy with fatigue. The reaper had been enraged, and the emotion was evident on all the faces.
"You will pay with your lives!"
Another head had shifted and taken over. And from the evil looks on its face, it didn't come to play.
A piercing wave ripped through the air, a sound so unbearable it felt like their skulls would shatter. Ren and Von dropped to their knees, clutching their ears as blood trickled from their noses. But it was Luna who suffered most. Her sharp wolf hearing amplified the torment, and she crumpled to the ground, whimpering in agony.
"Luna! Dammit he is hurting her!" Ren shouted, his voice barely audible over the shrill noise, fighting his own pain but concerned for his familiar.
