The beast rested, wrapped in chains; eyes to the ground as he hung a few feet from the ground of the cavern. Long, tousled black hair overshadowed and obscured his face from view only moments before he rose his head at the GM's words. His creator was lost - there would be no revenge, no retribution. His eyes, irises a brilliant blood-red, met the figure of GM, who was now shirtless. He spoke, his deep voice flooding the cavern.

"You were to bring my creator here, so that I could slaughter him and revel in his blood, but it seems that this is not what happened. Instead, you come empty-handed." The chains moved slightly as he shifted. "You expect my assistance with your trivial matters, but you do not fulfill your part of the deal, so I put forth a proposal."

"Release me," Bellua's voice grew more forceful. "And I will remove your obstacles. The hindrance shall be no more."

Euclid leaned against the wall, clutching his chest as he struggled to find his breath. There was something very wrong with the situation at hand. Leon and Rose were attacked, and that man could have taken him next. Running his hands through his hair, he closed his eyes and tried to figure out his next plan of action. He had no idea where the other two would be, and he had to be careful in case GM were to show up out of nowhere. Without hesitation, he moved and entered the first door he came across, putting him back in the library. At least it was a location he knew. 

From here, he could reach the main hall and the main entrance. Maybe Leon and Rose were there. Maybe GM was. The only thing to do was find out. Taking large strides, he moved to the other side of the library, taking care not to step on the glass that covered the floor, where he initially landed. His wounds seemed to be better than before; blood loss was to a bare minimum, and the pain in his ribs was now dull. He wasn't sure how he was healing so quickly, and he kept that question in mind as he gripped to the handle of the door that led to the main hall, waiting for any signs of movement on the other side.
