Chapter 128: The Infernal Pegasus (1/2)
The great chamber, though quiet at first, pulsed once, like the beat of a slumbering heart.
As they pushed through the doors, they found the beast standing right in the center of the room.
Its mane was still burning with eternal flames. Its eyes, molten gold. Wings spanned wide, each beat scattering sparks that burned into the stone. And atop its head, like a cursed crown, glowed a jagged horn.
And when they entered, the beast turned its head to look at them.
"Looks like it was waiting for us," Shiera muttered, summoning her weapons.
Kael’s heart pounded, not from fear, but from focus. He turned to the vampire. "You’re up, Sith."
Sith gave a slight nod with eyes gleaming crimson as she stepped forward. Beside her, Nyx snarled as it walked with her. His nine tails curled behind him like whips.
The remaining followed behind. Kael remained at the entrance of the room, keeping his distance with his eyes focused on the beast and his companions.
*Neigh*
The Infernal Pegasus readily launched itself toward the intruders like a comet of flames.
As everyone tensed a bit, Sith made her move. She charged at blurring speeds, appearing beside Pegasus. Her hands clung onto the Pegasus as it flew at Nyx, the beast that escaped others.
But then, before it even reached the wolf, Sith opened her fangs, which were slightly enlarged and sharpened, intending to sink them into its neck. The Infernal Pegasus was forced to halt and twist midair, slamming her into the floor before it got wounded.
