The raven hopped from his chest to the stone floor, wings spreading as he puffed up with what looked like pride.
'We are in the Hound's lair!'
'Hound?'
The word triggered a memory from the flashes of his fading consciousness.
A massive paw crushing Kethran.
"...The Hound? what is going on?"
Kuro's head tilted.
'The Hound is the one who crushed that elf to death! Saved stupid human and Kuro!'
He hopped toward the cave entrance, then looked back.
'Look, he is behind you.'
Goosebumps erupted across Damian's skin as the sensation of being watched hit him all at once, making every nerve scream danger.
He turned slowly.
A black hound sat five meters away, perfectly still, watching him with eyes that glowed faint gold in the cave's light.
It was small, the size of a normal dog, maybe slightly larger and had black fur.
But those eyes...
They held intelligence that made Damian's breath catch.
It wasn't animal intelligence, but human intelligence, or beyond it.
Growl
