Raptor sat up, wincing at the pain in her right wing. She glanced down at the stone in Leif’s claws, her face blank as anger boiled in her mind. “What do you need me for?” She said, her voice hoarse and low."StopthedaggerfromkillingRaptor." Leif thought, hurriedly. The dagger dropped to the sand. "Excellent." Leif smiled. "Just know who has the power around here." He winked at her, his goofy fake self peeking through, "I am taking out all of the Queens. I've killed Koi already. Brightscales and Blackflower, RainWing and NightWing Queens, are being murdered right at this very moment." He glanced at the stone, smiling as tiny screams issued out of it.
Brightscakes had passed out. The NightWing queen looked over at the group. “I’m NOT going to kill you Reva! This isn’t your fault!” Blackflower said, stepping towards her. “We have to find Atlantis. Kalmar? Will you?”Reva shook, heaving deep breaths, something forced her to fight the guards around her. What was it? What had happened? She tried to lunge at Brightscales again. "Do something!" She screamed at the guards. Kalmar bounded up, helping pin her. "Reva?! Wot is 'appening?" "I... Don't-" she spat are stream of venom at Kalmar who luckily dodged it, "know." She twisted in the guards grasp, feeling the sharp spear on her shoulder blade. "Do something! Chain me up, kill me, do something!" She demanded, clawing at the confused guards around her. "Et's the work of an Animus. Et must be." Kalmar said, squinting at the injured Queens. "Are 'ou two alright?"
