"WHAT ARE THEY DOING?" AZ SNAPS OUT OF HER TRANCE WHEN SHE HEARS HER COUSIN FEARFULLY SPEAK BESIDE HER. However Sel's eyes are only for the demons. AZ covers her ears when the hellfoxes release bloodcurdling screams, the sound bouncing in the courtyard and droning on and on. She winces at the sound seering into her ears in pain. When she realized they weren't just random screams. Rather. It was a call.
The aether from Sel's weapons unravels and flows in the air toward their open mouths like a stream spilling into a lake. He gasps, squeezing each staff in a fist, but it's no use. His weapons dissolve before their eyes until he's holding nothing but air between his fingers. The foxes flicker, but the silver-blue aether he called turns green when it reaches them. Sel is already calling another batch of aether, but the foxes scream once more and take it before he can form anything in his palms. He roars, cursing as they take his power from him, siphoning it as fast as he can call it.
The sharp burn of his casting fills the air. The foxes take it all and use it to grow larger, stronger. Aether swells from within their bodies, bloating them outward until there's the sound of splitting skin. Dark green, foul-smelling ichor oozes out of the openings. Sel begins calling a third batch of aether to make a weapon against them—but they'll be corporeal soon, and visible to any passing Onceborn.
