He had crept through her dreams for the past few weeks, haunting her mind for the past month. The panjandrum of Dahlia de Mai now, the vile and cruel creature he was. She could still feel his weight over her, crushing her; she took several steps back from the puppy, her ears still swiveling about. There was no thundering of paws; Kaena shouldn't have been so frightened—but it was panic. It had risen over her whole body and latched over her mind, crushing all logical thought from her head. The silver-furred woman glared at the puppy, figuring her father to be Haku Soul—she smelled of Dahlian wolves, her eyes were a similar shade of baby blue.
Her monosyllabic answer did little to ease the coyote's mind. Kaena knew the puppy couldn't hurt her; she was a stone's throw from Inferni and she could simply turn tail and run, but it seemed her feet were glued to the earth again, the horrible feeling that the moment she turned her pack from the smaller canine, she would turn into Haku and hunt her down again. "Yes," she said, her voice rising to crack. "He's coming for me now," she hissed, dropping to the ground, her eye rolling about the surrounding forest, nearly bugging out of her skull. She was almost laying down, crouched almost completely flat to the earth. Fear pinned her there, some completely unexplainable thing that had convinced the Centurion the little thing in front of her was some omen of the demon himself.
