Short Battle
Kacha!
The sounds of the chains breaking sounded so liberating in Harou's ears that his eyes couldn't help but shake when he heard the sound.
Did they really do it?
Did they really free his master from the shackles that had been imposed on him?
Did those three humans do what all of them magical beasts couldn't do?
His heart was beating a steady staccato, and he felt disbelief in his mind.
He almost couldn't bring himself to believe that the three humans had done it. Not because he thought that they were beneath him, but because it had been so long since he'd last allowed himself to harbour hope.
When he recalled the look of determination in Hayden's eyes, but the silence he maintained, the arrogant wolf felt grateful.
He had a feeling that it was that particular human who had pulled through in the end. There was no basis to his feelings, but he just felt like it was that tiny human who had done it.
