The Herald stops in its pursuit of Praetor and turns. Hound's aura is strong. It gallops full force at him, bellowing, plowing through soldiers who are reduced to ruin instantly. It inhales and then roars, it's black flame shredding the earth, splitting into two streams where it hits Hound's greatsword as he plants it into the ground defensively and crouches behind the blade. Just as it stops, he looks up, and it has grabbed him, still charging. His body pushes against the Herald's horrendous strength at it attempts to crush him. With titanic strength, he frees his sword arm and brings his blade down upon the beast's claws, knocking himself free and causing it to crash from its gait. Together they tumble, in different directions,  and as Hound comes to a stop he crouches and sees it regain it's footing. It begins to circle, spreading it's wings, as they begin to gather some sort of energy, preparing...

Praetor comes to the scene just as he sees Hound fall and roll from the Herald's grip...

In the hospital, panic as everyone attempts to evacuate. Ferra holds Aabi up by the shoulder, Aurum supports Regina and Lucida supports Aegis. Ibrahim supports them both.

"Let me back there..."Aegis says weakly. "I'll get him...I'll stop him..."

"Hush, sweetie,  hush," Ibrahim says quietly as they leave.
