Caspian's POV
"We found you, brother."
—something in me snapped tighter than before.
A recognition…that pissed me off more than anything.
"CASPIAN!" Dan barked again as another one lunged straight for my neck.
I twisted just in time, its claws grazing past my shoulder—
—and holy fuck—
It burned.
Not like a normal cut.Not like silver.Something worse.Worse than acid and silver together. Like my skin was being eaten from the inside out.
"—shit—!" I snarled, ripping into it hard enough to feel something tear this time.
It dissolved the same way.
Gone.
But the burn stayed.Deep… very deep.
I barely had a second to process before two more came in from the side.
"Left—!" Riven snapped.
"I got it—!" Jax shot back, slamming into one mid-air, both of them crashing and rolling across the dirt.
The other one hit me full force.
We went down hard.
It pinned me—
Weightless and heavy at the same time—its limbs bending wrong as it pressed in.
Its face—
Too close.
