The lion was thrown onto his back, searing hot pain ricocheting through him as the boy's claws cut through his face. This was no ordinary pain, but a scalding, bubbling agony that froze Herod in place, clutching his eye.

Traitor! he roared, pulling Hasdrubal's head into range of his teeth, intent on crushing the pretty face between his jaws. You will both die for this!

But he was stopped, only by the woman descending upon him with viper's bites to the vulnerable flesh along his stomach, weak, but enough to cause the elder to recoil and lose his grip on the boy.

It was then, for the first time since he had ripped the Snow-boy's head from his shoulders, that fear entered into the lion's heart.

Ransem was not here to save him.

He redirected his teeth to Hasdrubal's broken leg, releasing his grip only when he heard the weakened bone crunch. Then, a kick to the woman's chest to send her back.

He staggered to his paws.

And ran.
