Once more, the woman's expression grew dark, but it was different from before. Her eyes narrowed dangerously, and they glinted with a fierceness Zelos had not before seen. She bared her teeth, snarling, like she was some kind of wild animal. He could see her whole body trembling, and watched in both amazement and horror as she began to push back against the chains.
Before, she didn't fight, because it would have been useless to struggle. A typical woman couldn't break free of the chains, nor a typical man. But she was forcing the metal to give away.
Yanora's hands clutched tightly into fists, her nails digging into the palm of one hand, while the other griped the blade she held so tightly that it felt like it was going to snap. Her body trembled as she struggled against the chains, but her expression didn't show any pain from it. The chains pressed tightly into the flesh of her arms, but it did not seem to faze her.
Zelos, stunned by what he was seeing, did not act to remove the chains himself.
With a loud growl, she summoned all of her strength, and pushed against the chains as hard as she possibly could. The metal chains snapped in several places with the sudden force, falling all around her onto the ground below. Somehow, she'd broken his chains.
