You my captive

At first the ghoulcat didn't notice his approach as it gorged itself. When they were a mere few feet apart the creature whipped its head around and the sight had a new wave of tears streaming down my cheeks. I had never seen a monster so hideous in my life.

The head was feline shaped in nature, but the eyes were similar to that of a spider yet a bit too scattered along the top of the head. Its nose was an empty hole in the front of its face and there was nothing to hide the dozens of thin razor-sharp fangs jutting from its top and bottom jaw where blood and viscera dripped.

Its short ears flattened along the top of its head as it watched the king approach. The ghoulcat crouched to the ground and my breath caught in my throat as a slash of silver arched through the air in its direction. A sharp shriek hissed from the monster as it lurched back from the attack.

Under the flickering lamp light of the carriage I watched as the beast's hideous claws lashed out to strike at the shadow king.
