The Fleshbeast guarding Reo, a hulking figure named Gnakk, turned to the confused young man. “Aye, Fleshbeast be us. Cegwitt’s chosen warriors, protecting the precious cargo that be you, Reo.” Gnakk rumbled, his voice a deep baritone. His tentacles squirmed and pulsed with urgency. “We must get you to safety, afore those blasted Ferellis do you harm. Stick close now, aye?”
Meanwhile, Alex, the grizzled head of security, barked orders at his men. “Rally around Reo! Keep him safe at all costs. I don’t want to hear about any damn Ferellis getting near him!” He whirled around, gripping his gun with white knuckles.

The bullets flew as the two factions clashed, the night sky alight with muzzle flashes and the staccato bark of gunfire. The cacophony of battle surrounded Reo, the once peaceful city now a war zone. The Fleshbeasts fought valiantly to protect their charge, determined to keep Reo safe from the Ferelli threat. The hive mind watched anxiously, desperate for Reo to choose them, to be saved by its guardians. The battle for Reo’s fate was joined.
