The figure's blade met Zoe's flesh just above her collarbone. Digging into what should have been blood and bone the blade stuck and then absorbed into her flesh in a static like sizzle. Zoe's grip relinquished from the figure's throat momentarily as she glanced down at where the weapon hit. This was a new development...and it felt good. Throwing back her head, Zoe unleashed a laugh that ripped the surrounding trees in half.

The blade disappeared a few seconds after it connected, returning to the figure's hand. "What has happened to you?" The figure asks. He quickly glances at the devastated trees. "Just how powerful are you now with that mutation..." He murmurs to himself.
