Devotee of the sun God

Crouching behind a shrub, Cristian watched four men clad in tunics, battle skirts, sandals and a mark in the middle of their brows.

They fought against a beast similar to a tiger, but with five flaming tails.

Two held curved swords and round wooden shields, while the other two at the back hurled fireballs at the beast.

Discreetly, he watched them battle the beast with impressive skills and awe-inspiring coordination.

"Li! Move!" the tallest one bellowed and the man holding a shield and sword rolled to the side.

"Fire wall!" The tall man hollered and a wall of flames appeared before him. He pushed forward and the fire walls moved toward the beast. 

'Impressive,' Cristian praised internally. The half burnt beast sought to escape, but the other man with long red hair balled his fist and a cage made of fire formed around the beast.
