Pegasus Vs. Chimera Page #3

---

And what of your father, Belleros?

My father? He could slay a beast

with one slash of his sword.

A warrior.

And are you a warrior?

I'm just a man.

Not a warrior, not a king, just a man.

My father used to say a man doesn't need

a bloodline to be king, only heart.

What do you remember most

about your father?

How he died.

He's one of our soldiers.

My mother.

My mother, she was here.

I'm so sorry.

I've never seen an animal

with that kind of print.

Wait, there are human footprints.

They lead into the woods.

Some may have survived.

Come on, Princess.

Then my mother might still be alive.

The tracks end here.

-Mother! Mother!

-Drop your weapon.

-You're alive!

-Mother!

-Oh, Philony.

-Mother.

Oh, thank the gods you're safe.

Where have you been?

I feared you'd been captured.

I'm fine.

-What happened to the camp?

-A demon.

Come, we must get to somewhere safe.

I know a hunting trail

through the southern pass.

It leads to the plains through the marshes.

It's hard for anyone to track

but far enough to be safe.

Mother, this is Belleros.

He's been helping me.

-Highness.

-Thank you.

But we need to continue heading west

toward the hollow caves.

With all due respect,

Your Majesty, it's madness.

It's not safe there.

I know the dangers.

But we need help.

We seek the witch, Mayda.

And you trust a witch?

We have no other choice. Come.

Very well.

-Thank the gods I found you.

-Yes.

At least we're together now.

Keep watch for that demon.

Don't worry, Princess, you're safe with me.

Majesty, what exactly do you know

about this witch?

Only that she is extremely powerful

and we need help to defeat Orthos' magic.

Oh, wonderful. Orthos uses magic, too?

That snake has ruled Argus since

the days of my grandfather,

yet he doesn't grow a day older.

It must be magic.

We need to find magic to stop him.

What about that witch?

What if she uses her magic

against us as well?

Mayda and Actae have a long history.

They were both once allies of Tiryns.

When Actae aligned himself with Orthos,

Mayda secluded herself in these woods

and refused to join them.

She hates who he's become.

She will help us.

And may the gods help us.

Send the men to scout the perimeter.

The fire's fresh,

but it looks like there's no one here.

Why don't you take a seat, Belleros,

hunter from the great south land.

How do you know my name?

I know everything.

My visions tell me more than

a person should know.

Would you like to know the moment

and the hour of your death, Belleros?

Not really, no.

So you know why we're here.

The monster killing your men

is called the Chimera.

I wouldn't have thought Actae would have

the power to conjure it.
