The other half turned toward Darion. They would follow their master.
Darion looked at Seren. "Stay with me."
Seren didn't hesitate. She gave him a small smile. "Sure."
Darion nodded. Then he summoned his original undead wolf.
Green light erupted beside him. The massive creature materialized. Its body was tense. Its glowing green eyes locked onto Darion. Darion grabbed its fur. "Let's go."
He climbed onto its back. Seren immediately climbed on behind him, wrapping one arm around him to steady herself. The wolf lowered its body. Then—
BOOM!
It launched forward.
The undead wolf moved like a beast possessed. Its massive legs slammed into the ground as it raced through the streets.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
Buildings blurred past them. Darion leaned forward. Seren held tightly onto him. The wolf jumped over a pile of debris. BOOM! It landed hard and immediately accelerated again.
