There was something about the scream that practically broke something inside of Theron.
He hadn't known Ayame for long, but he knew enough to know that she wasn't the sort to scream like that. She could have lost a limb, been suffering the worst pain, but nothing should have been capable of making her react like that.
She was someone who had survived in the Demon Corps. But even beyond that, she had experience with something Theron understood intimately.
An Assassin's Guild.
When Theron originally met her, she had been a part of the Assassin's Guild he snuck into after leaving the Hall of Ice and Heart. You couldn't just casually sneak into an Assassin's Guild. That meant that she had gone through every hint of initiation that the others had.
Someone who could make it through that wouldn't scream.
What could possibly make her scream?
It was the only thing Theron could think about as he cut through the skies, moving as fast as his Mana and his legs would allow.
