92 The Manticore 2

"That's a manticore. It is a giant beast with the body of a lion, the wings of a dragon, the head of a man, and a tail of deadly spikes. Due to its wings and darts, its skin is tougher than that of a normal Lion." He explained as he got himself ready.

"What do you think you are doing?" She asked him, scanning his body from head to toe.

"What does it look like I am doing? Getting ready to fight of course."

"You've got no weapon. What are you planning on doing? Using your head?" She chides him.

"Well, yes."

Astrid stood straight and looked at him like someone who had gone bunkers.

"You're kidding right?"

"Nope I am serious."

"How do you expect to use your head against this kind of beast? I am pretty sure you want to be it's meal. It is obvious, you are tired of living."

"What do you mean? I meant my brain, form a strategy, make a plan."

"Ohh... That's what you meant!"

"What were you thinking?"
