MAJOR POWERPLAY. I figured at this point it was appropriate, but otherwise let me know and we can change it.
indent Everything came together as if it was a well rehearsed dance. Andre moved for him, then realized too late what their true intent had been. In a blur of gold, Anselm was on his half-brother, taking away his advantage, holding him like a living anchor. Then it was Corona moving, rushing the boy. Blood was on the ground and the sky was on fire. A triumphant, heckling laugh escaped Gabriel and his legs pushed against the ground, moving him with as much speed as he could muster. He could smell the blood and saw the opening, and dashed towards it.
indent Gabriel reared up, slamming his paws into the boy’s chest. Their eyes locked and it was in that moment time stopped. He could see the first time Andre had looked at him like that, promising that he would reclaim the clan in his name. Even then, the Aquila had known that this would never come to pass. God’s purpose was undeniable, and no child would break His Word. As he stared into his brother’s eyes, eyes that were so much like his eyes, like Kaena’s eyes, he knew that this would be the end. His teeth closed around the throat and he felt the windpipe crush. Grinning, he yanked his head back, was sprayed with his half-brother’s blood, and knew that this was how it was supposed to be.
