Damien was a foolish brute, a brother in arms to Paul but foolish nonetheless . After escaping that harrowing scene, Paul didn't know what to do . He saw his best friend being smashed to the ground by a gigantic monster no human had a chance of defeating . He had to use that mysterious man as bait and run for his life .
AdvertisementHe was now standing underneath the great bridge . That man was stubborn and kept fighting the beast . He wondered if he was brave or foolish like Damien . He had no time to think though as beasts in the street had been aroused by the fight above and were on their guard . He had no intention of engaging in a fight with them and all he wanted to do was to find a way to the Cathedral Ward .
He had seen another bridge in the distance while he was inspecting the surrounding area from the highway above . He decided to make his way over there . He took an alley under the bridge and found himself on a street full of caged dogs . The animals were barking crazily at the sound of the furious fight taking place above .
Even the dogs in this city were hideous . Their fur had decayed into ashen white and it started to fall out . He could see patches of pink hide on their bodies . Only their fangs kept their original form . It was his chance to get away from there as the dogs didn't notice him and even if they did, the cages held them inside .
He walked among the caged animals and crossed a small bridge . He could see an aqueduct under it . At that moment, he heard two shots in the distance, followed by that beast's terrible roar . It was definitely angry and the ground was shaking as a result of whatever was going on up there .
Paul was glad he didn't linger around for long . From that small bridge, he could make out the other road he had spotted earlier . He'd have to go through the aqueducts to access it . It was fine; he could face any danger, but not that colossus .
He heard footsteps behind him and felt fangs penetrate his shoulder as he attempted to step aside . A dog had freed itself from one of the cages and attacked him . The commotion distracted the others, but it had worked both ways . The malformed animal had its fangs firmly installed in his muscles and any movement he attempted, made him scream in pain .
He had to act quickly before the others free themselves and kill him . He rolled forward and smashed the dog to the ground . With a small wimping sound the dog stood up and bared its teeth to Paul . He took his axe in his left hand and threw it with all his might towards the dog's head: "Thud!" It was an instant kill .
