Capítulo 91: The Manticore 1

Astrid screamed her lungs out, as the beast pounced on her. In fear, she raised her hands to shield herself, luckily, her powers obeyed her. As the beast paws landed on her, it met a strong force and a gush of wind pushed the beast far from her.

The beast slammed into a tree at its back with full force and fell to the ground. It growled a bit and stood back up, its eyes blazing with anger at the assault it suffered. It roared at her again.

At the same time, Jareth who had just finished dressing up, suddenly heard a loud scream and a roar followed right after.

"That voice, it can't be... Astrid!!" His eyes opened wide in alarm, he picked his bag and dashed towards the sound of her voice.

"Please hold on, I'm coming." He muttered and ran with full speed.

*************

As the beast roared again, a wind from nowhere rushed at her and pushed her. She quickly reached out to her powers and used the earth to hold her feet hard to the ground.
