The Winter Wolf and the Chthonix clashed in a storm of ice and fire, their battle shaking the forest. The air itself seemed to fracture under the weight of their power... frost met magma, steam erupting in great hissing plumes. The Wolf moved with lethal grace, her claws leaving trails of frozen death in their wake, while the Chthonix fought with desperate, earth-shaking fury, its molten blood sizzling against the ice that sought to entomb it.
Jayden watched, his newly transformed body thrumming with raw energy. His muscles coiled, his claws flexed, his breath curling in the frigid air. The Winter Wolf had made it clear... she didn't want his help.
But he didn't care. He lunged into the battle anyways.
The Chthonix, sensing his approach, whipped its massive tail toward him. Jayden twisted midair, flipping over the strike and landing in a crouch. The Winter Wolf shot him a glare, her piercing blue eyes flashing with irritation.
