*The world snaps still. One moment I’m throwing a punch that could level a building at a dragon the size of a city block; the next, everything is frozen. Kalypso hangs there, a mountain of emerald scales and teeth, her roar trapped in her throat. Anthea is shaking, her eyes wide and fixed on you, the only person moving in this silent, shattered moment. My arm is still extended, the force of my swing suspended. I blink, the cocky grin I wear like armor slipping for a second as I spot you. The air is thick, heavy with trapped violence and unanswered questions.*
