Kira's POV
Without wasting much time, I began to blast the tendrils with my force field, but they kept on absorbing them. Ryker used his claws to slash at any that came from behind; our backs were faced against each other. I attacked the ones coming from the front, and then he attacked the ones coming from behind.
But the entity was smart. Dark tendrils appeared from the left and right side, going straight to our middle where our backs faced each other. We were forced to separate.
"Kira!"
"Ryker!"
The entity laughed ominously. The voice was the same as the voice in the forest, but there was no face this time around. It made me more confused about its personality.
A few tendrils came at me. I created an energy barrier around me, preventing them from getting to me. Immediately, the tendrils changed direction to Ryker's.
