'What the hell is going on?!'
Luca felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.
'This isn't the welcome I was expecting! Why does it look like they're about to slaughter me at any second?'
'Is it really a trap, just like Leona said?'
But before he could panic further, the Centaurs in front of him parted, stepping aside to reveal a figure who walked forward with measured grace.
The moment Luca saw her, his breath caught in his throat.
She was stunning. Absolutely breathtaking!
And he realized, with a jolt of recognition, that he had already met her before. But this was the first time he was properly taking in the sight of her.
Her lower horse half was a magnificent silver color, her coat gleaming like polished metal in the sunlight.
Her silky tail was equally silver, so smooth and luminous that it looked like a cascade of liquid mercury.
Her body was powerfully built, a tank of muscle and grace that made the centaurs around her seem almost small in comparison.
