"What was that?" Delia asked, trying to come to her senses after what she saw.
"It is the leader of the beasts and protector of both the dark lands and the cities of the humans. He and I have an agreement that makes us and the beasts allies."
"Damn, that was scary. Not even in the Blood Arena have I met creatures with such a terrifying aura. I still get goosebumps." Vlad said.
"Well, it seems that the humans had a strong ally even without us. I don't know anyone who could defeat that serpent. Even if all the elders united, it would hardly have any effect. We are like insects to him." Delia muttered.
"You don't have to worry about that. I'm sure Teres won't hurt us, but we have to be careful. In any case, he hasn't sensed any hostile intent from you, and that's a good thing. We should move on." Wain said.
"Yes." Delia and Vlad nodded and followed him.
