Alex stepped to the side, shoving Tina and the military elf away with his body. All his force was upon his sword descending in the darkness. The young man downed his blade as the creature silently swiped its claws towards Bogath's neck.
A loud whimpering replaced the chuckling of the creature as the hand fell to the ground. Its thin and long fingers fell and twitched, the big nails full of dirt below it twitched and tried to grab something in a muscular reflex.
The Shadow Hound was again inside the walls, whining for everyone to hear. Bogath gave only a sidelong to Alex and a slight nod as he kept uttering his magic words to the wind.
On the other end of the corridor, the beast running towards them was accelerating its steps. Four legs crumpled one after the other, the growlings of the mad Cerberus echoing through the dark tunnel.
Tal'Dore arrows flew towards the monster, which didn't halt.
