The defeats had long been Adam's partner and motivation to improve. The quick, almost instantaneous defeat of the Inferno Serpent was no exception to that rule.
Risha couldn't see Adam through the cloud of dust in the distance, but her heart beat faster while sweat ran down her forehead.
The Inferno Serpent paid no attention to her, he narrowed his eyes waiting for Adam's next move.
Suddenly, a calm, masculine voice sounded in Risha's head.
'Risha, you need to wait for the right moment and escape. I know this is unacceptable to you, but neither of you stands a chance against the Inferno Serpent,' the Glen's voice trembled. 'I say this as your Operator, as your future partner... That monster is beyond your powers.'
As soon as his words were spoken Risha gulped. In all the time she had been trying to connect with her new Operator, she had never heard Glen sound so desperate.
