Selene darted toward the Morribane, her movements sharp and precise as if she had fought such a beast a hundred times before. The creature roared, its grotesque wings spreading wide as it charged to meet her, claws tearing through the air with terrifying speed.
Adrian watched for a split second before moving into position, his fiery chains snapping to life around his arm.
He had to trust Selene's analysis—if she could keep the beast occupied, he might find the opening they needed.
The Morribane swiped at Selene with a clawed paw the size of a shield, its blackened fur glinting faintly in the dim light. She ducked low, rolling under the attack and slashing upward with her dagger.
The blade struck true, carving into the leathery underside of the beast's wing. It let out an enraged bellow, twisting to strike again.
