As Cristian approached the top, he could clearly sense there was another presence. The lights of the candles flickered as he walked past them with heavy steps.
Slowly, his head was first revealed to the beings atop the altar. With his back straight and his steps firm, he walked onto that flat platform.
Tilting his head at the scene before him, Cristian raised his hand, took Woven Oath from his back and summoned one of his twin one-handed axes.
'They must be really furious. Well, no need to keep them waiting.'
Forty meters away from Cristian was a white-haired monster lioness with a gorgeous face and alluring body, kneeling before a golden-furred lion that sat on a majestic earthen throne.
It was over 8 feet in height and ripped with muscles that were barely covered by its mane. In the middle of its head was another eye, which had a golden iris.
