Kitsuul moved before the first bullet hit.
A shimmer of starlight danced across her fur as she vanished from Lyra's view- only to reappear midair, her translucent tails snapping like ribbons.
In one graceful motion, she conjured a silver-gleaming veil that looked like starlight itself-catching the bullets mid-flight as they dropped right after. Not one made it through.
…!
Damian almost froze. In the next instant, Kitsuul was back on his shoulders, hissing at the drone like a furious fox.
What…was that?
He shot the question mentally toward her. As far as he knew, her only ability was Veilshift—a cloaking technique that hid them both.
But that move?
"Kitsuul!"
She responded with a sharp note in his mind, then explained. Yes, Veilshift was her main trick, but she still had her Innate Energy—raw Interstellar Beast Energy she could wield however she wanted.
