BURN
BRIGHT

The shaking ground startled Ninazu out of today’s meditation, yanking her awareness out of the void and back to the moment. She sat with the trembling earth for a long moment, drinking in the panicked bird cries and watching the skies. Once she identified where they ran from, Ninazu rose and weaved through bobbing palm trees to the beach.
The flames in her mane swelled, hungrily devouring the wind rolling off the ocean. The lioness craned her neck up, watching the monstrous dragons stare each other down from the treeline. Her ears flatted at Argus’s cry. She hadn’t seen Argus act in wordless aggression like this before—she supposed the appearance of another brought it out of them.
“Wait,” Ninazu said, glancing at Argus.
She stepped onto the sand, watching the feral beast. Strange as it was, she sensed the beast’s mind. This never occurred before; she lived and died by violence, usually heavily relying on her powers, but this was the first time a mind reached for her.
“They—no, it? He? There is a mind in there. A feral one. But interesting, all the same.” Ninazu struggled to place the feelings into words; she rarely dived into others’ minds with her existing mental manipulation abilities. Listening to the pulsing rage and wordless viciousness was like trying to listen to flashing lights.
Ninazu breathed, grounding herself in the always present expansion and contraction of the body. Practiced in the art as she was, already used to noting her own unwanted thoughts with the gentleness of a feather, Ninazu basked in their rage in confusion like a blade of grass bending in the wind.
Gaze sweeping over the eight-limbed and five-eyed creature, Ninazu noticed a flame burst in the corner of her vision. She tilted her head to look closer at him—he’d somehow ended up on Argus’s other side—but Caesar already fired off the burst. Growl in her throat, she glared at him and attempted to chuck a rock in his direction. “You moron. You want a fight between Argus and the beast to wreck this island further?”
