It pulsed in her palm like a heartbeat.

“You do not belong here, creature,” Clairen said, her voice a low growl cut with static. “Your world is pixels and punchlines. Mine is fire and finality.”

Clairen was faster. Her blade hummed, deflecting the first wild swipe of the scythe in a shower of orange sparks. She counter-thrusted, forcing Jevil to twist his malleable body into a pretzel-shape, cackling all the while.
