Inevitable Encounter Part 1

Asher's golden eyes locked onto her, filled with contempt and resentment.

His wings spread wide, streaks of three-colored lightning arcing from his body as raw energy crackled around him.

Opposite him, she hovered in the air as if standing on an invisible platform, her nine tails swaying like flowing ribbons. 

Kitsune tilted her head slightly, a playful smile tugging at her lips.

"You look at me like I stole something precious from you," she mused. "But I don't recall ever crossing you. So tell me, dragon—what sin have I committed?"

Asher's jaw clenched, a low growl rising in his throat. "I'll tell you after you're begging for mercy."

Kitsune's playful demeanor faded, her expression turning more serious. "I'm so unlucky... it seems I'm being hunted by a ruthless man."

SWOOOOSH!

Asher vanished, determined to neutralize her as quickly as possible.
