The creature was the size of a car.
It had three eyes open on its wolfish face.
It tried digging out the prey, but its claws couldn't pierce through the strange rock.
Sparks flew from its attempts at breaking through the rock.
Lucian breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it couldn't get through.
They'd made it, somehow; he had survived his first encounter with a Tenebrian beast.
He'd survived it and also saved two other people.
Lucian slowly slid to the ground, breathing heavily. He grabbed his trembling arms to steady them.
" You're alright," he quietly whispered.
" I'm ok, I'm fine. I can get through this."
The creature snarled and growled one last time before settling down just outside the hole.
Its claws gleamed in the fading light with a promise of pain.
Lucian glanced at Cassius, checking that he was still alive, then turned to see the other person.
