Before he could react,a giant paw hit him through the cloud of dust. His body flew back like a bullet, the beasts in his path were turned into blood and goo.
When he came to he saw a giant lion with a flaming mane, it savage red eyes glared at him with unconcealed malice. The aura radiating from it was terrifying.
The air boiled and shimmered from the intense heat radiating from it giant body. He wanted to turn around and run as fast as he could but he knew that cave was his only hope.
Over the years his sense of danger had grown slightly, it was more of an instinctive feeling that was on and off than a proper ability and right now it was telling him if he does not get in there he will die.
He also noticed the effected beasts were growing stronger by the second. When he looked up the red moon was not yet full but it was growing.
Faster than any moon ever had, he knew it would be a full moon by midnight and something told him he didn't want to be out by then.
