Chương 64: Ladon

There was fog behind her. 

"Tania…" something hissed in a guttural voice. She stumbled back a little, scared. Mist around her thickened so heavily that she was unable to see Eltanin. 

"Tania…"

The voice grew closer and though she could not tell whether her heart was beating fast or not, Tania knew that there was something behind her, behind the fog. 

Her lips parted. "Wh— who is there?" her voice came out muffled.

There was nothing until— 

The mist dissipated around something and then swirled until it created a form in front of her. It was a dragon spirit. Huge. With no perceptible body. There were illusions of his spikes, a snout and coiling body—all of it appearing and disappearing behind the fog. Half coiled around the tree and half on the ground in front of her.
