Chapter 20: She shoots, she scores!
"Do you think we can afford ten portions of food after selling this? I hope there'll be a lot more left, though, so we can buy more tomorrow and the day after. Well buy a truck full, okay?"
Mark stared at her for a while, speechless, and he hated to admit it, but he was dazzled.
He thought he would die. He thought he wouldn't get to hear that crazy and nonchalant voice of hers. He thought that those words he said to her would be the last since there was no one coming to their rescue but he thought wrong.
Who could've thought that she would be the one to come to his rescue and not the other way around?
The moon seemed to be shining right behind her and so she looked radiant, carrying that mighty hammer like it was nothing. He didn't even have the strength to question her about where she got it from.
He laughed and then said,
"Yeah, I'm sure." He said and smiled. "But this time, I'll take you there directly. Let's go out to grab a nice meal, you and me. You can order whatever you want."
As soon as he said that, the ground shook again and Alice rolled her eyes. She was just about to get excited at Mark's offer to feed her all she could eat.
"What now? Can't you see I'm having a moment here?" She yelled.
From the gate, where the hydra came from, a double-headed crimson griffin, towering about ten meters with six wings, appeared, casting its menacing crimson eyes in her direction. Its mane was billowed in fiery flames as it dived towards the ground and sent shockwaves upon its landing.
Its shockwave broke most of the building in front of it. The facility was built with the finest materials, so for it to be destroyed to that extent, thanks to its landing, then it goes to show how powerful it was.
