Lily POV
A vampire's fist whistled past my head as I dove between two fighting witches. My silver light flared instinctively, forming a barrier that stopped both supernatural creatures mid-attack.
"Stop!" I shouted, my power spreading out in waves that made everyone in the clearing freeze. "We're all going to die if we keep fighting each other!"
The vampire snarled at me, his teeth dripping. "Stay out of this, wolf girl. This is between us and the fire-throwers."
"No, it isn't," I said strongly, standing up despite my shaking legs. "Look around you. While we're busy hating each other, those things are getting stronger."
I pointed to the Void Walkers slithering out of the reality tears. There were twice as many now, and they were all laughing as they watched the magical species tear each other apart.
"She's right," said Prince Ash, hobbling over with his crystal blade still glowing. "Every moment we waste fighting is another moment they have to feed on our anger."
