Lyra was not having a good night. She'd chased one of the creatures out of Awesome Base and had taken to the sky, trying to get an idea of what was going on as she tried to fight back the mounting terror that was filling her and her daemon. Pantalaimon floating beside her, her hands went to her knives as she bit her lip and thought about Toph and Vivi and everyone she'd ever met in the City, and what they were doing right now. Pantalaimon's sudden alarm broke her train of thought, as five... things rose up from the city on slimy wings, and Lyra dodged out of the way, flinging her knives at the creatures before using telekinesis to recall the knives and send them out again, weaving through the air in a barely controlled panic as she did so.
