Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Tiana's heart jolted the second she heard it. Instead of retreating, she lunged forward, striking with both palms in a fierce assault. Following the mysterious tip, she immediately shifted her focus to Butch and Spike's lower stances.

In just seconds, their formation wobbled-only slightly, but enough. The crushing pressure on Tiana lifted, and she felt the change instantly.

Seizing the moment, she let out a sharp cry and shaped her fingers into claws, brutally gouging at their eyes.
