You clutch the datachip, its cold metal a comfort against your palm. You've managed to slip away from Sylus on the surface, but you know he'll be searching. You need to get this data to the authorities before Onychinus can silence you.
A shiver runs down your spine. You remember the glint of the pendant before you ducked into the tunnels. Sylus's crow can probably still track your general location. But these tunnels are a tangled web, a forgotten city beneath the linkon city. He won't be able to predict your every move here.
A harsh caw echoes through the tunnels. You curse under your breath. Sylus's crow must have followed you down. You glance back and see a fleeting glimpse of black feathers disappearing around a corner. You know you can't outrun it for long in these tight spaces.
Panic surges. The crow swoops against you, this time snagging the strap of your bag. The bag tears, the datachip clattering to the wet ground. You scramble to grab it, but Sylus is already there, a smirk playing on his lips beneath the hood
You're underestimated him, that you think your ability is enough to deal with the leader of a Onychinus organization
"Look who came to me," he grabbed your chin and lifted your face forcing you to look at his face "I've been watching you all this time,and I didn't expect you to come alone to my lair, it's very arrogant of you to come alone little hunter" he brings his face closer to you so you can feel his breath on your face "I like the look of your face right now,I'm curious what expressions you can make when you're in my arms" He grabbed your waist and pulled you onto his lap
