Koa buried his face into her mane, taking comfort in the gesture before letting out a long, weighty sigh. The last remnants of his anger faded, like ash blown by the wind, and he drew back for a moment, giving her a tired smile. A pain still remained, but this pain felt manageable. Liveable...

Koa's fur and body crackled with energy in a way unlike anything he'd ever felt before. Every muscle in his body felt alive, ringing with power and energy. The deafening thunderclap rang him to his bones, almost echoing through him. He could hear her anger, he protest, in that feral cry. Her...

For a moment, Koa felt briefly like howling in frustration. There really was nothing to be done about it, but it was still terrible. Brisa was still leaving.

Koa's jaw tightened and he reflexively swallowed. The memory of being silenced like that still lingered like an open wound. For a moment, he gazed at the sky, watching the clouds crackle and flash. His eyes narrowed. "I tried to call out you know," he said finally. His old anger flared briefly...

Koa snorted. The colosseum battle. After asking around he'd found out something was up with it. And clearly it went beyond the Miracle Matters just having strange powers. "I don't know what to think," he grumbled finally. "But we fought great. And we won. So I guess that's all that matters."...
