In a sudden and chilling movement, Mabel stepped closer to the precipice, her body teetering on the brink.
The Fae emitted a sinister cackle as if relishing the idea of yet another victim plunging into the abyss. Duke Caius felt his heart plummet, a profound sense of dread washing over him as he fought to reach Mabel in time.
"Aurelius, come to me!" Duke Caius bellowed, his voice slicing through the tension of the moment, reaching the heavens themselves.
Responding with lightning speed, the majestic griffin, Aurelius, descended from the skies. His massive wings beat with power as he gracefully swooped down, talons outstretched to rescue Mabel from the perilous edge.
