The blood-red eyes that stared into Zia's eyes filled her with a feeling of fear and uncertainty as her heart beat wildly in her chest.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion as she gazed at this beautiful beast. He was a beast she had seen before. The creature visited her at her cabin and in the healing room when she nearly lost her life.

What was her connection to this creature? Why would he appear only at certain times? She was speechless, just staring, for what seemed like an eternity.

The creature stalked her frozen body in a full circle as she kept her eyes forward. She didn't dare make any sudden moves. She had no idea with this beast's intentions were.

Suddenly, the he wrapped its wings around her and spiraled into the air, blazing through the clouds with her as she squeezed her eyes tightly. She couldn't fight him. She couldn't run away. She had to do what he wanted her to.
