Lirian’s Decision

Chapter 64: Lirian's Decision

The low, ugly growls filled the dungeon, echoing off the cold stone walls. 

Ten monsters loomed over Lirian, glowing and bright eyes focused only on her. 

Their jagged teeth glinted in the faint blue light, and the atmosphere turned more weirder with the scent of fear and raw power.

Lirian's legs trembled, her breath quickened and became more shallow. 

She clutched the dagger at her side, though she knew it would be useless against even one of these beasts, let alone ten.

"Stay back," she whispered, though her voice wasn't very convincing.

The monsters didn't listen. 

They stepped closer, with their massive claws clicking against the stone floor.

She backed away, her heart started pounding faster than she thought it could handle. 

Her body was frozen, all she could think was how the certainty of her doom was so close. 

But then, something happened.
