Nebelis floated high above the clearing.
Its eyes were locked on Razorkai and Zephyrahn.
Mist swirled around Nebelis's tail.
"It seems it's time I stepped in myself."
But before it could move, Liline stopped it.
"Hold on," she said, her tone light but firm.
Nebelis's eyes narrowed.
"What's the matter?" it asked.
Liline's smile widened.
"It's not your time yet."
Nebelis's tail twitched. "What do you mean?"
Liline's eyes sparkled. "Now it's my turn."
Nebelis tilted its head slightly, the mist around it thickening.
"You?" it asked, surprised.
"Are you going to fight them yourself?"
Liline giggled softly. "Oh, of course not," she said, her voice playful.
"I didn't come all this way just to get my hair messy."
Nebelis huffed. "Then what do you plan to do?"
Liline tapped her pen lightly on her clipboard.
"I brought a new soldier," she explained.
"Well… not really a soldier. More like an elite private soldier."
Nebelis's eyes glowed brighter. "I see."
