Damien's body tensed instantly as the weight of the oppressive aura crashed down on him. His every instinct screamed at him to run, but his limbs felt sluggish, trapped under the weight of something far greater than he could comprehend. He slowly lifted his head, his heart hammering in his chest. Above him, through the thick canopy, the massive eagle-like creature had returned, circling overhead.
Its eyes locked onto him, glowing with an eerie, predatory light. It wasn't chasing the bulls anymore—it was focused solely on him now. The air seemed to freeze as the creature descended, its wings cutting through the sky with a terrifying grace. Its talons gleamed in the strange golden light, sharp and ready to strike.
"Not now... please, not now!" Damien whispered through gritted teeth.
