A caravan of slaves crawled slowly over the great icy mountain, with more than one slave periodically falling and stumbling.
Some slaves already had purple lips, others were already one step away from death, several slaves were crying... But the tears didn't fall to the floor, they froze before that.
Sunny was slowly walking forward, ignoring the pain of the snow cutting into her foot, ignoring the voices of the other slaves discussing something about poisonous plants and gods.
He was focused looking ahead, he knew what was going to happen, he knew he couldn't miss what he was going to do.
'1....2....3'
As if hearing his thoughts, a rumble echoed from above.
Snow falling and flying from the sides, stones cutting through the space and drowning in the sound of the winds, before anyone even had any reaction it was too late...A shrill scream was heard throughout the region, the covering snow was pushed away by a large claw.
Revealing absolute terror, seeming to come out of the demons' nightmares, a great beast came out of there...
A creature at least four meters tall, had two stumpy legs, an emaciated, hunched torso, and disproportionately long, multijointed hands — two of them, each ending with a set of horrifying bone claws, and another two, these ones shorter, ending with almost human-like fingers. Its fur was yellowish-grey, ragged, and thick enough to stop arrows and swords.
Its head had five milky, white eyes and a half-open terrible maw crowding with razor-sharp teeth. Viscous drool was running down the creature's chin. The strange shapes were endlessly moving, worm-like, under the creature's skin.
Sunny didn't tremble or hesitate, as if it was natural, he jumped and ran towards the monster, seeming to be summoned by his action, the monster raised its large claws to attack one of the slaves.
Still in confusion, the slave didn't even notice the end approaching him, before he could even open his mouth, the great abominable claw took the man's life... A horrible tear across the man's entire torso...
Sunny looked back, he saw many slaves already running, but being held by the damn chain, the slaves near him were in shock, their mouths were open.
Sunny slowly turned her head to the other side and saw a young man.
He was a young soldier wearing a simple leather breastplate, armed with a spear and a short sword.
He was rushing towards the big beast, with a fierce look, he was unshakable, with a huge leap that seemed to defy physics, he was already floating on top of the beast.
The other soldiers... They were depressing, some were lying face down on the ground with fear displayed on their faces, that same face that showed a proud expression mistreating the slaves...Now showing horrible fear, some of them were already pissed, others crying horribly.
Sunny looked at a poor soldier who was lying next to him, the crouched man hugging his own knees.
'tsk, pathetic."
Sunny ran towards the poor man, the soldier turned to Sunny, fear written all over his face, before he could even open his mouth... Sunny gathered the chains in his hands...And he dealt a strong blow to the soldier, the soldier's eyes rolled, and he fell to the ground, without even being able to fight back... he was knocked out by Sunny.
Sunny ran and crouched beside his body, the chains on his leg and arms being pulled back, the other slaves desperately trying to save themselves.
'Damn, Where is it, where is it!!'
Reaching into the man's armpit, Sunny felt cold, the cold of iron, then a smile rose on her lips, it was the key!
Quickly Sunny put the key in the lock on his legs, turning it he felt the satisfying noise.
CLICK
His handcuffs came off, he quickly took them off and went to his wrist, trying to put them on.
'damn, why won't it?'
Finally fitting the lock he shouted quickly, feeling the cold cutting into his injured wrists, smiling at finally freeing himself from his bonds.
"Here!! Here!! Boy, here!"
Hearing some screams from behind, Sunny turned his head and saw a slave shouting at him, raising his arms, Sunny slowly smiled and threw the key towards the poor guy...
Sunny didn't even look to see if the key fell near the slave, he was already focused on something else, looking at his biggest problem now...
The damned King of the mountain...
