Lykea arrived minutes after Sirius, her Celestial Tiger, a gift 'from Sirius' since they were young and they were promised to each other, supporting her husband's beast.
"We need to contain it with more light!" she shouted, assessing the situation with a veteran's speed. "Sirius, you, me, and Orion must combine our elements. Keep your serpent with Lyzea's to secure our escape routes."
The strategy was sound. Born from years of combat experience and intimate knowledge of how their beasts' powers could be coordinated properly.
And it worked.
Not easily.
Not cleanly.
Not without more casualties...
But it worked.
The three celestial tigers working in tandem for the first time in years.
White light blazing so bright it banished every shadow in the ancient chamber. Power combining in ways that pushed beyond what any single Gold-rank tamer could achieve. Coordination that came from shared beasts bloodline and years of training in their techniques.
