As Roxy struggles through her Trials to join the Seattle Slayers, she is guided by some of their finest. Meet Akhil the Lightbringer.
“He set down the cleaver and fanned out his hands about shoulder-width apart. He began humming and I found myself relaxing. The adrenaline of battling that beast slowly dissipated and I was just left with confusion over Marnie dipping out. Now it was just me and Akhil and I wondered how I’d again gotten stuck with yet more work this evening.
Light emanated from his palms, a cool white light and I watched with wonder as the light bathed the ushi-oni corpse. Though the night air was decidedly cold, heat surrounded us as the Slayer’s light intensified. Akhil’s magic wasn’t merely for special effects–he could tune it for other qualities.
Maybe he could singe vampires to ash.
His magic was perfect for the Slayers.”
