Chapter 89: Deja Vu (2)
Adrian sat in the dark, tied tight to a chair. The room was silent, except for his shallow breaths. He squinted into the darkness, trying to make out any shapes. Suddenly, a pair of glowing yellow eyes appeared, piercing the shadows.
Before Adrian knew what was happening, a figure, tall and menacing with a silhouette that seemed to become one with the darkness, launched at him.
However, Adrian’s instincts kicked in, and he leaned in on one side, falling over and narrowly missing the assailant. His Kitsune eyes were helping him see in the dark, but only ever so slightly.
Still, there was no time to waste. The Tulkas had lightly bound him to the chair since he was dressed as a footsoldier in their eyes, and it was their biggest mistake.
Thanks to their error, it didn’t take long for Adrian to break from the chains binding him to the chair.
But the creature was already onto him. It was an outlandish figure, its body covered in scales that shimmered in the dim light. Thankfully, he dodged the attack again and slammed the chair onto the creature’s back.
The attack wouldn’t have accomplished anything as there was no way a meagre weapon like a chair would hurt a creature of the night.
Thankfully, Adrian had his trusted sword lying in his inventory. As the figure stumbled forward from his attack, he reached for his sword and was about to swing the blade when he heard the creature call out his name.
"Adrian... it’s really you?"
