Luca M. Feygor

Watching closely for any indication that the bond had finished, Luca sighed with relief when Snow finally clucked her sharp beaks together and stepped back. Releasing his focus, the power which drained at his core ebbed away quickly as Luca felt like a cloud had been lifted from him, the air returning to his lungs.

"I'm alright now, you can stop what you did," Rue announced as she got up slowly, although she looked far from it they were simply out of time to look for alternatives.

Luca supported her as she took her first unsteady steps before offering a deceptive smile. “Good luck out there. Please don’t fail either, I’d hate to be behemoth food,” Luca said as the bustling winds continued to whip furiously around them. He was beginning to doubt if Snow could even fly amidst these conditions, and a brief glance towards the struggling white bond was all he needed to confirm this.

Up ahead several bonds still fought the behemoth, Erin and Nemesis among them, exhibiting levels of bravery as high as any Luca had ever witnessed. A valiant effort which was ultimately doomed to failure, Luca thought grimly. Not that anything was wrong with their skills, but the behemoth was simply too vast, too large for a less than half a dozen bonds to handle effectively.

“I’ll help the others,” Luca stated, hating himself for not being able to do anything more.

As Rue found her stability, he stared in amazement as white flames began to lick the ground around her. Even from his position he could feel the chilling sensation of her raging power as her eyes glowed a brilliant white matched only by her hair. Erin slumped to the floor then leaving him little time for further admiration as Luca ran forwards to assist. Rue's brother was paralysed by the shocking pain of his bond as Luca lifted his arm over his shoulder and dragged him out of the immediate combat zone.
