Julian Sterling nodded briefly at Silas. "Please convince our guest to change his decision."
Silas moved.
She didn't yell or charge. She simply stepped forward smoothly and silently, her face showing a calm, professional expression. She raised a hand, and the panther-like creature appeared beside her.
It was a beautiful and scary creature, designed to only eliminate its target.
"Jonah!" Seraph's voice came through in his ear, sounding urgent. "We're blind! The balcony is shielded with privacy wards! Talk to me! What's happening?"
The shadow panther attacked.
Its movement was smooth and deadly, almost mesmerizing. It made no sound as its paws glided across the floor, launching itself at him.
Jonah reacted on pure instinct. "Maul!"
His own Progeny appeared with a loud THUD that shook the ground. He met the panther's direct attack.
BAM!
