'Crap!'
Dean cursed under his breath, his instincts taking over.
In a split second, he lunged at Aezel, their bodies colliding violently and rolling across the crimson-azure ground before coming to a halt behind a towering, dark rock.
Confusion painted Aezel's face.
"W-What the-"
Dean's urgent gesture for silence cut him off.
Aezel bristled with anger, the residual hatred simmering just beneath his skin. B-ut...the dread etched into Dean's expression was enough to stall his fury.
Dean cautiously peered past the edge of the rock.
And there- he saw it!
A cold breath hitched in his throat as his eyes locked onto the monstrosity before him.
Dread and fear gripping him in all their endless glory!
The creature was otherworldly, a nightmarish creature that defied all sense of reason. Its towering menacing form was reminiscent of a nightmarish scarvenger, but grotesquely amplified.
