Nyxara may have been expecting a different response from Eos, but what he did shocked her. He simply raised the Destroyer, which had a peculiar silver light running across its edges that gave Nyxara pause, and he spoke slowly. "Hide, or die with them."
For a long, tense moment, she held his gaze, and only her trembling wings were a sign that she was barely containing her fury. Then, with a snarl that echoed like tearing souls, she folded her wings and melted into the shadows of the Hollow. Her presence vanished as she used soul-threads to weave her presence into invisibility, and even though Eos could no longer sense her presence, he could still feel her hunger like a coiled serpent waiting to strike on the back of his neck.
He smiled inside his head and knew that it was time to truly test how much Nyxara could hold back before she broke, and he slowly turned to the Beast.
