Leandra panted.
Her lungs burn from all that running she did.
Along the way, seven students were accidentally killed by the golden feathers, so she had to leave the populated area. She was thinking of the parking lot, or even going back to the abandoned building near the Bastion of Blades.
But she was intercepted.
Guarding either side of the main street were twenty students who were under control.
Controlled like a puppet.
All of them had one eye glowing golden.
And upon focusing on it, Leandra noticed this golden eye also changed shape.
It doesn't look like a human's eye, but a bird's, a falcon to be exact.
"I can't kill them," Leandra frowned, a drizzle of blood trickled down—the side of her face. "I can't hit them hard too or else there's a chance they'd be crippled even with the academy's healers help. There's no other choice…"
Swoosh!
Leandra glanced over her shoulder and saw the flock of golden feathers charging at her again.
