PHOEBE
The monster emerged, and it was even more awful than the shadow had been. It was like nothing Phoebe had ever seen before, and she could feel terror clutching her. Indeed, she could feel the panic rising higher and higher with each passing moment.
Just like the monsters had been at LongNight, this monster seemed implacable, and she couldn’t possibly do anything to fight it. Wessex, on the other hand, was already in motion, and the midwife just gasped again as the Ascended Queen gave another one of those commands she always issued. The healer’s eyes darted to the ash pile, but she was afraid that if she moved she’d just get in the way or attract the monster’s attention. So all she felt she could do was keep praying desperately. ”Frey, please.” Surely her friend wouldn’t abandon her in her time of need.
Pim felt none of the indecision that Phoebe did. Instead, he was just filled with a fierce need to protect Phoebe, who was clearly scared out of her mind. As always, he was her staunchest defender and guardian. The dragonling even set aside his dislike for Wessex for this, since they both had the same goal at the moment. As the Ascended Queen swiped at the monster with her claws, which were very impressive for a human, Pim roared at the monster, then sent a blast of lightning straight at it. That should scare it away from his precious Phoebe.
