Morgana stepped into the clearing, her heels clicking against stone. Three beasts beside her,
Jax's interface flickered.
[Aether Viper - S-Rank / Mythic (Air-Lightning)]
[Ability: Volt Lash - Channels electric currents through wind streams.]
[Sandshear Scorpion - A-Rank / Primal-Earth]
[Ability: Burrow Ambush - Creates underground tremors and surprise attacks.]
[Beast of Wrath - S-Rank / Emotive (Rage)]
[Ability: Fury Link - Doubles power when master's HP drops below 50%.]
Jax's throat tightened. 'Two S-Ranks and an A-Rank. And I'm at thirty-three percent HP with two beasts.'
Azara stepped beside him, her own beasts moving into formation. The Steel Mantis's blades gleamed. The Nightmoth Drake's wings spread, shadows pooling beneath it. The Aurora Serpent coiled, light refracting through its scales.
Morgana smiled faintly. "I expected to find students scattered and desperate. Instead, I find two of my most interesting pupils standing together. How convenient."
