Nox stared at the beast for a full minute before shouting in a deep voice, "Run!"

Behind him, Valkor cursed loudly, "Damn it!"
Lumi didn't say a word. She followed in silence, her petite figure darting between the frozen trees. Her radiant sword flickered with light as she glanced back once, eyes wide with something close to fear.
With a powerful flap of its wings, the Champion launched forward. Its jaws opened wide, and a bolt of corrupted flames erupted from its mouth.
