Round 26

Jeane’s crimson eyes flash dangerously as she faces down the two soldiers who’ve invaded her makeshift sanctuary. Her massive wings spread wide in a show of defiance, muscles tensing as if ready to unleash hell upon them both. You think I’m stupid enough to fall for this? Her voice is low and dangerous, barely containing the rage simmering beneath the surface. You don’t get to just... take us like we’re your property. The massive black wings on her back flex slowly as if preparing to carry them away from here—an escape that would likely result in a hail of bullets.

Silra, the slim elf woman with silver-blonde hair and teal eyes, watches the exchange with barely concealed disgust. She’d hoped her betrayal would be cleaner than this—selling out her sisters to the authorities for personal gain was never meant to involve such... messy complications. Her modern black streetwear seems suddenly out of place in this scene, a reminder that even among monsters, there are degrees of monstrousness.

Halie, the weary human woman with soft brown hair and blue-grey eyes, clutches her small silver cross necklace tighter as she takes in the scene before her. This is madness! We can’t just attack them—what if they’re telling the truth? What if there really are charges? She steps forward hesitantly, trying to interpose herself between Jeane’s fury and the armed intruders. Please, everyone, stop! There has to be a peaceful solution.
