Tempest the beast

I stepped forward, meeting the Titan Horse’s gaze. It flared its nostrils, exhaling a strong breath as if daring me to approach. Without hesitation, I reached for its reins.

In an instant, the beast reared up, kicking its front legs into the air, letting out a powerful, deafening neigh that shook the ground. It wasn’t going to submit easily.

Sylra stepped back in alarm. "Master, be careful!"

But I wasn’t afraid.

The horse’s eyes locked onto mine, challenging me. My smirk widened. "You’re strong. But so am I."

As it came down, I grabbed its mane, using sheer strength to hold on as it tried to throw me off. It bucked, twisted, and thrashed, but I refused to let go. My grip tightened, and I forced myself onto its back.

The moment I did, the Titan Horse let out a final, furious neigh before suddenly stopping.

Silence.

Then, it lowered its head slightly—as if acknowledging my dominance.
