The Triplet's Bullied Mate
His own protective instincts, usually more subdued, were now fully engaged.
We resumed our formation, our stances sharper, more aggressive. This time, our strikes were harder, fiercer, imbued with a new, unspoken intensity. The triplets surrounded me like a living storm, a protective whirlwind of motion, their blades flashing, muscles taut, sweat glistening on their skin. They pushed me, challenged me, forced me to react and adapt, but in every move, every parry, every block, they also protected me. It was a complex, dangerous dance, a raw, primal war of wills, and a profound, undeniable promise of unwavering loyalty.
