8. Fear

Fear grips them all as they face down Kaze'Aze.

A split lip bleeds, running a trail of crimson down Elesis' jaw, the taste of bitter iron in her mouth. Fear tightens its hold around her heart, choking her, until it hurts to breathe, to move. There's something purely evil in the look Kaze'Aze gives to the Chase, something that makes everyone shiver and shudder in fear.

She was no coward, fear meant nothing to her. Yet now, she could barely move.

Kaze'Aze spouts some shit about 'Ruling the World' and Elesis barely holds in her thoughts, all of her hate.

Quickly, she moves forward with her swords, fear still curling around her heart.
