Rhea wasn't done yet.
Her amber eyes burned, the fire at her knuckles flaring hotter, casting jagged shadows across the writhing walls.
She lunged, her boots slamming the hardwood as she seized Tila's wrist before she went into the floor, her grip iron-tight, yanking her back into the searing glow of her flames.
Tila's shadowy form flickered, caught in the light, her sharp features twisting in shock.
"Not so fast Bitch!" Rhea roared, delivering another blazing punch to Tila's jaw, the force snapping her head to the side. Tila's other hand morphed into a jagged shadow blade, slashing at Rhea's chest.
Rhea released her, twisting to dodge, the blade grazing her tank top, cutting through the fabric.
She retaliated with a blast of fire, the flames roaring toward Tila, but Tila dissolved into the shadows, her laughter taunting as she vanished.
