Weiss POV

What is this... What I'm witnessing is a battle of no other. My sister and everyone else is fighting not just for our lives but for theirs as well. I-I want to help, but... I only ever fight to defend myself or someone else. I never do it to hurt someone intentionally, let alone kill them. But the others, even Cinder and Winter, just... Took a life without blinking. I expected it from Adam and maybe Cinder, but... My own sister? I get it. She's a specialist in the Atlas military, but how is she this unfazed when taking a life? I can see it even from the castle that the streets of Arendelle were painted red with the blood of Marleyan soldiers. A part of me thinks this is just... And another thinks this is too far.

Just when I thought the literal warzone outside was enough... Then this creature that looked as if it crawled out of hell itself appeared and attacked them. They looked like the attack would hit them, but surprisingly, the Queen herself stepped in and saved them. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, but then the creature created some portal that brought what looked to be demons into this world. I was starting to panic, and I looked behind me to see a crying Anya and Nezuko, who hugged Seraphine tightly.

I can see that she's trying to stay calm for the kids, but I can tell she is about to break. What broke my heart was that Anya looked up at me with tearful eyes

Anya: M-Mama Weiss *sniff*. W-Will mama and papa be ok?

I knelt down and rubbed her head soothingly.

Weiss: Of course, little sunshine. Your mama and papa are some of the strongest people I've ever met. I'm sure their fighting with all they can to get back to the two of you.

She looked at me and nodded while I rubbed the two little ones' heads... I couldn't tell them the truth because even I didn't know where they were. I expected them to join the fight by now, but I have yet to see them anywhere. Suddenly I heard an explosion followed by lightning strikes, and I could only gasp in horror to see several massive creatures falling from the exploded blimps.

The fact that the expression on each one is unnerving certainly didn't ease my worries

The fact that the expression on each one is unnerving certainly didn't ease my worries. I heard several more lightning strikes only to see another one of those creatures, but it looked much more distinct. It had what looked to be hardened skin on its body, showing bare muscles.
