Ezra's eyes moved constantly, scanning left, right, front, and back, his breathing steady but his mind racing as the creatures that had just attacked suddenly vanished without leaving behind even the faintest trace of movement.
The air felt wrong to him, still and empty, it was obvious the creatures were moving. The issue was that their movement was too soft to hear, but with his understanding of wind collision and sound differentiation, he did not hesitate.
The moment the flow of air shifted slightly and unnaturally…He moved swiftly.
He grabbed both girls, placing them on his shoulders and jumped backward with force, his body lifting off the ground just as three weapon thrusts pierced through the exact spot they had been standing on moments ago.
The weapons appeared out of nowhere like ghosts, then vanished again.
