Chapter 503: The Sylvan Temple
Lunae narrowed her silver eyes. “What do you want, Lin Lu?”
“It doesn’t have to do with what I want. It’s just what’s necessary,” the fox replied.
Lunae growled, “You can’t kill me.”
“Oh, most definitely not on a full moon, at the height of your power.” Lin Lu jumped down and landed softly on the cobblestone. Her form blurred and she grew until she stood as tall as Aurelia’s frost wolf, though still smaller than Lunae. She circled the moon goddess slowly. “Perhaps not even on a half moon, but tonight of all nights? A new moon? Well, let’s find out.”
Indigo flames ignited over the tips of each of Lin Lu’s eight tails.
Lunae shook her head and flung Stryg off. He yelped in surprise and landed with a roll on the wet cobblestone. She glanced at the frost wolf standing behind her and snapped in a sharp voice, “Get him out of here!”
Stryg jumped to his feet, “Wait, I can fight—!”
The frost wolf snapped Stryg up by Blossom’s cowl and threw him over her back, right next to Aurelia. The First Mother wrapped her arms around her son’s waist tightly, “I’ve got him, go!”
Spinning around, the frost wolf sprinted away from the two goddesses with all the speed she could muster. Lin Lu pulled her black lips back in a snarl and cracked her tails forward like a whip. Eight orbs of fox fire zipped through the air straight at the frost wolf.
