Fire Breath
Miangases

A thick fog descended on the hill that Sabina and Aiden climbed. The trails turned blurry and slowly their visibility narrowed. Aiden quickly grabbed Sabina's hand so they wouldn't separate. The two joined hands while walking in silence.

After a while of walking, Sabina began to realize that the trail was too long to pass. Even when they were still at the bottom, Sabina was sure that the hill was sloping and not too high. There is something unusual on this hill. Sabina's suspicions were later confirmed by Nora. The Sabina pet, already in the form of a lion, suddenly growled in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" ask Aiden who is walking ahead. He then stopped his steps because he heard Nora's growl that felt tense.

"I smell a shitty smell. The smell of the dog," replied Nora half growling.

Sabina turned wary. "What are werewolves?" tanyanya. Despite asking like that, but Sabina did not feel the plural killing aura of a werewolf.

"No. It's just an ordinary dog" Nora said.

"If only dogs means harmless. Let's move on," Aiden said. He could not figure out why Nora had to growl so dramatically like that just because of an ordinary dog.

Suddenly, amidst the thick fog, their entourage was startled by an animal that leaped merrily, with its tail wagging. A cute black hairy dog! Nora muttered furiously giving off the most terrifying threat sound. But the dog just stuck out his tongue casually with a breath of breath.

"Nora, what the fuck are you? Don't make this little dog afraid," Sabina said then approached the dog with a frenzy. "God is cute" Sabina commented,

"Be careful Sabina. Who knows if it's a dangerous dog. He can bite you" Aiden said anxiously. The young man then pulled Sabina's hand away from the cute black dog.

"That's just a dog, Aiden," Sabina replied.

"In this kind of forest where there might be adorable dogs hanging around." Aiden was still trying to prevent Sabina from approaching the black dog.

Nora on the other hand, continued to growl long and menacingly.

"But.." Sabina was about to reason again, but her words were interrupted by a burst of flames that suddenly led to the three of them.

Surprised Sabina immediately changed. Aiden reflex launches a protection spell. While Nora ran forward towards the direction where the little dog had been.

With red eyes, Sabina looked towards the coming of the fire. How shocked the girl was to see that adorable little black dog was gone. Instead now a dog as tall as his body roared horribly. Not only that, the giant dog also had three heads that each looked ferocious with canine teeth as big as a fist.

"Wastholes!" aiden exclaimed then, realizing what they were harboring.

Nora had already stepped forward against the three-headed animal. But it turns out that the heads of Kerberos can emit fire. Kerberos ferociously spewed fire in all directions, leaving half of Nora's feathers charred, even nearly burning the bodies of Sabina and Aiden alive.

"Why is that cute animal going berserk?" sabina exclaimed as she jumped avoiding the burst of flames. "This is all because you provoked him with your growl, Nora," Sabina said.

"It's just the animals that are cute! He's obviously ugly!" nora doesn't want to lose.

"Why did you even fight over such a trivial matter? We need to get out of this situation! This fog was disturbing, by the way," Aiden's voice airs without his body being seen.

Right said the young man, the fog interfered with the sight of the three of them. Now the three of them were separated and only their voices could be heard. The occasional burst of bright Kerberos flames helped Sabina's view. But the thick mist again covered up quickly, as if the fog was a thick blanket that resisted the disibak.

"I'm behind this stinking animal, Sabina. I'll be biting his ass in a minute!"

"Ladies! Nora's disgust!" sabina's reply frowned. "Where's your incident?"

"I'm here." Sabina immediately followed Aiden's voice. Down there, Sabina saw a speck of light from Aiden's wand. His heart was at ease looking at Aiden who seemed to be fine.

Suddenly there was the sound of the roars of two animals who were struggling violently from below. Bursts of fire and clawing sounds and boisterous roars occurred. It seemed like Nora had already turned into a griffin and was struggling with that giant Kerberos. Sabina immediately shot towards them. Unfortunately the fights of the two animals were too tight, so Sabina could not enter between the two of them. If reckless to attack, Sabina can actually hurt Nora.

"Sabina," called Aiden to approach her from behind. "We'll just wait for them to finish" Aiden continued.

"Cats and dogs are indeed natural enemies," Sabina commented as she folded her arms. Aiden agreed.

The fight did not take long. For some time, Kerberos brushy began to appear desperate by Nora who was in the form of griffin. Given Nora's anti-fire and scratch-resistant feathers, plus the ability to fly and claw-paw, as well as many other features, Kerberos was clearly less powerful. Nora is already superior in terms of spare parts.

Finally with one last blow the giant Kerberos fell. Slowly his body shrank back into an adorable little dog again. Complete with cute soft ears. Sabina approached the faint little dog and stroked it with anxiety.

"When he's funny like this" Sabina commented.

"Damn! Keep your hands off the creature. It smells disgusting" Nora said, turning back into a lion.

Sabina was about to reply to Nora when she suddenly realized something. The thick fog that surrounded them disappeared quickly. The cold air was thinning and the view was clearly visible again.

"Looks like my little dog's been interfering with your trip, huh. As the owner, I'm sorry" said a man who came from the middle of nowhere.

The man was wearing a long dark fur coat. His leather boots also looked oddly shiny in the middle of this mud-filled forest. His appearance was too luxurious for the size of the person who was in the middle of the jungle. Even so the man put on a friendly smile.

"Are you Miangase?" asked Sabina to guess.

That conclusion was obtained by Sabina after assessing the appearance of the foreign man. Witches usually have a strange taste in dress, and do not suit their surroundings. Just look at Aiden.

"really. I'm Miangase. Can I help you?" ask Miangase later.

Sabina smiled with relief. It turned out that the thick fog earlier was Miangase's magic. And Kerberos is her pet called Valerie stupid but harmless. This witch really suits Valerie's eccentric taste.

"My name is Sabina, I'm Valerie's sister. They were my friends, Aiden and Nora," Sabina said.

Miangase raised an eyebrow excitedly. "It's nice to finally meet Valeri's family. Let's go inside," Miangase asked. They then walked into the stunning Miangase Tree House.
