"Yeah, I know her," Ashley replied through clenched teeth. "I'll invite you to her wake after this."
Kyle chuckled darkly, but the seriousness in his eyes matched Ashley's. As they closed in on the creature, Kyle drew back his bow, an ice arrow materializing in his hands. He fired with deadly precision, the arrow slicing through the creature's leathery wings with a sickening crack. The creature howled in pain and wavered in the air, struggling to stay aloft.
Ashley's eyes narrowed, her gun appearing in her hand with fluid ease. Kyle blinked, surprised by the weapon, but Ashley wasn't interested in explaining herself. Without hesitation, she fired. The creature managed to dodge the bullet, its massive form swerving in mid-air.
