Hybris raised her eyebrows up to her hairline because Erato was talking gibberish. “What? What is- Who the fuck is Cathy?”
She never got to find out because Asterion splintered through the door, sending bits of wood flying every which way. He roared in fury, sounding inhuman as he charged at Hybris like an enraged bull. She barely got out a scream before he picked her up into his arms and brought her down onto his leg, snapping her back in two. He let out another scream, and he grabbed her head, so small in his hands, and twisted it, giving her body a little shake until it separated, falling wetly to the ground, her head still in his hands. And he stood, breathing hard and heavy, shaking with anger, over a dead Hybris.
