Chapter 59: Incredible... in every way
The door they had chosen closed shortly after they entered, and the little one floating there looked at them with a mischievous smile.
Just then, footsteps echoed through the long hallway. An ancient beast walked toward them from a distance.
"Damn, that bastard must be afraid to show himself," muttered the griffin, annoyed by the voice in his head.
He had wanted to tear him to pieces and had even challenged him several times, but he had not been heard. In the end, he had ventured down the paths he could travel, and that had brought him here.
When he arrived, his eyes immediately caught sight of a person.
’A human baby?’ he thought. His stomach growled audibly, and he finally remembered that he should be trying to find his human prey.
’But I’ll settle for this little gift from heaven.’ His mind was filled with countless ways to prepare this meal, and he couldn’t think about the consequences.
As soon as he arrived, he immediately jumped toward him, his enormous beak wide open and his stomach growling with hunger.
His body approached the boy, and in a few seconds, he was in front of him, his enormous beak reflected in the boy’s clear eyes. Quickly, he seemed to transform into food in the griffin’s mind, but suddenly his body stopped.
"Do you want to play with me?" asked the little child, appearing from the griffin’s blind spot and grabbing his neck.
’What the hell?’ The griffin tried to move with all his might, but he couldn’t even move an inch. His body was completely immobilized by the inherent fear reflected in the little boy’s aura.
