”Her name is Azlia.” Dante spoke.

”Azlia?” Arius was disoriented, but didn't put up a fight to name her. ”Okay...”

Arius finally separated from her, though only enough that she wasn't leaning on him. Zuna was the one that pulled away as she hurried over to Azlia.

”Eh? Zuna, your ability!” Arius was immediately thrown into panic, until his gaze was her with her calm eyes.

”I'm powerful enough to be able to hold back from affecting anything smaller than a little dog, relax.” Zuna rolled her eyes.

”You're 'Powerful enough'?” Arius looked at her with questioning eyes.

”That's how abilities work, right? As they get stronger you can control them better.” Zuna reached her hand out caress Azlia's soft white fur.

”Yea, but is that how the 'death radius' works? I thought you could only retract it.”

”Nope! It depends a lot on the person or amount of people! The more life force and density, the worse off!”

”Huh.” Arius stood as he began to speculate about her power. ”I'm surprised you don't know any martial arts or evasion skills to avoid killing anyone.”

Zuna sat next to Dante, keeping her sparkling eyes on Azlia. ”I do know some evasion skills, though.

”Eh? You haven't seen you use any!'

”They take too much energy to use!”
