Two Hearts excerpt

Kianna watched the events unfolding before her. The enemy she had defeated stood now at the head of a group of warriors, attempting to overtake the dragon champion Jetomi. As a ghostly presence in the now vacated capital of Kinsha.
Weeks before the city had been attacked by these six warriors led by her enemy. In a blaze of self righteous glory, Taevra had stormed the castle where her family had been over a thousand years ago. Without Tiber, she had been focused and collected. Though a hint of doubt had glazed her eyes when she entered the city at dawn, she only hesitated a step. The guards had halted her for a moment, one that dropped them to the ground.
Kianna looked them over for wounds as Taevra walked on, but they were only knocked unconscious. Taevra wasn't a killer unless pressed into a corner, and Kianna had come to accept that about the Mizukori princess. Even though she had faced her in battle, this Taevra knew her abilities and her body much better than the Shai self.
With the sun rising, the city was beginning to rise from the cool night. But as they glanced upon the near Desh girl, they scurried inside. The air was heavy with the tense atmosphere rolling off her shoulders, Taevra shifted her shoulders. With the light clothes she wore, it looked to be the basics that wouldn't hinder her abilities. A skirt tied around her waist that looked to be just a basic leather, with a leather top tied around her neck and behind her back, it covered her chest just barely. Her feet were bare as were her hands, but the sandstone beneath her feet didn't bother her at all.
A loud banging came from the distance somewhere across the city, as if someone were hitting a hammer against a bell. With the sound deafening the both the people and the guards, Taevra began to shift. As she neared the main castle, Taevra had grown black claws and with black scales up to her elbows. On her head large curved horns appeared as her eyes changed to gold, her toes growing black claws to match her nails. From her feet up to her knees black scales appeared, her tail growing from just above the skirt at the base of her spine. Higher up, black leathery wings grew out of her back, folded flat against her as she bared her new fangs with a hiss.
Guards were charging every gate now, starting to appear before Taevra. But before they even drew too close in their plate armor with drawn swords, black fire came from Taevra's lips. With the tan fading from their faces, quite a few turned and ran, too frightened to face a battle experienced Mizukori. The ones who were stupid enough to try and fight only managed to break their weapons on her scales before they too turned and ran.
Across the city her companions were also walking through the streets, clearing the way by themselves without even the hint of hesitation. Opposite Taevra from the north entrance, Akinara Yuriko Frostpaw stood surrounded by a sheet of ice beneath her bare feet. Her golden wolf eyes narrowed on the Desh guards inching their way closer to her. Long white hair fell down her back, looking quite disheveled as she flexed her new hands. Being Desh was something she didn't favor quite often, but her wolf form wouldn't have fought well in the narrow streets. With claws on her toes and fingers, she stretched her hands above her head, moving the white fur vest and tanktop off of her belly. Around her waist white fur wrapped around a black skirt that fell to her ankles with a slit up the right side. Across her skin markings in a light blue danced and glowed as the temperature dropped around her.
With the guards shivering, she walked past them quite simply with her twin white wolf tails keeping her balanced on the ice. White ears atop her head flicked back and forth as men dropped to their knees, clouds of warm breath panting the air as a fog began to form ahead of her.
From the east came the Taratori twins. Vae and Xae Taratori who were barely old enough to be away from home and their own kind. They often fought with each other, usually over Taevra's affections, but today they were focused. With braided blonde hair down their backs, they were identical down to the last detail of their outfits. Their wings were similar to that of a dragonfly's, two sets that glowed green in the sunlight. They stood together dressed in light green clothes, tunics and fitted pants with boots. Both held a quiver of arrows and a bow notched with an arrow. Their green eyes sparkled with glee as they crept through the guards, avoiding touching any of them. They had slipped between the realms, a trait unique to their species. So long as they didn't pass through any living organism, they could walk through objects and be unseen by most creatures.
Opposite the Taratori twins, Mathias Saebern the sage from before Taevra was even born, walked with purpose. The only Desh on the team, Mathias just nodded at the guards as he walked by. With his brown cloak covering his body and a staff supporting him, his ash blonde hair was fading slowly to white. Those kind grey eyes and kindly aging face hid the true purpose of his visit here. Being a Desh, they ignored the fact that he was slowly making his way towards the castle.
The last on their team and following Mathias was their smallest member. Sitting upon the back of another creature, they calmly walked behind Mathias. A smaller creature sat upon the girl's shoulder, a team of three that consisted of Kiati a half elf, Siera the present guardian of the world, and Siashi the creature they were riding on the back of. Mathias had cloaked them to look like another group of Desh as more guards ran past them, telling them to take cover.
Kianna watched the group as they closed in on the castle ahead, ready to claim Taevra's kingdom once more in the name of the Mizukori. They were going to take this city and then gather resources to wage war on the demon army of the dragon champion.
It was going to be a long day of dreaming Kianna thought wearily as she sighed, forced back to Taevra's side while she knocked out another group of guards.
