The chicken, or the egg?

Everyone felt their hair stand on end, while their blood turned cold. Only at this moment did they notice the thick chains tied around the bodies of the Cerberi, attached on the other end to an ancient war chariot.

A whip-wielding humanoid life form was currently seated on the war chariot, whipping the Cerberi just like they were horses drawing a carriage.

The humanoid life form stood at 3 meters tall, which was comparatively smaller than the 2 Cerberi. Nevertheless, as its whip fell, the Cereberi shrieked out in pain, neither one daring to rebel.

Seated on the war chariot, the humanoid life form gave everyone a leisurely impression. However, upon taking a closer look, everyone was shocked to discover that its face was absent of any features!
