When the first Blood Moon fighter lunged at Elara, his claws were already out. She dove as the wind from his swipe brushed her hair. As soon as she tried to defend herself, Kael slammed into the attacker, breaking bones in the process. "Stay behind us!" Kael yelled as he changed into part of his wolf form. His eyes were glowing gold. Elara didn't pay attention, though. Weak silver light pulsed through the crown on her head. With each second that went by, she could feel the poison in her blood getting stronger. It was supposed that the Bond Trial would make her bond with the triplets stronger, but it made it weaker.
