His Paragon Phoenix perched on his shoulder while his Pyronic Beaver stood beside him, hugging his foot.
Behind Jethro, Nov and two other cronies were blocking the aisle, not going to let him pass, while Dash, Ben and another crony flanked Eryn. Kekius and Oand were held back by Knight Faction students who feared Eryn, leaving Jethro all alone in the center.
"Eryn, what are you doing?!" Kekius said.
"Shut up, Dreamlake!" Dash warned him with a stabbing gaze.
Eryn stepped forward once, his eyes locked on Jethro with jealousy, wounded pride, suspicion, and hate. After scanning the lizard tamer and his now bigger and blacker mechbeast, Eryn's lips parted to speak.
