The Beast landed with a thud that echoed through the arena. Echoed because every screaming mouth had shut itself with its arrival. The hellhound was many things at the same time. Majestic, great, fucking dangerous. Perhaps the last one was most important. It landed and took two steps forward to orient itself before it growled. The audience remained silent. Dead silent.

So did the four of us. I wondered if this was what it felt like to be frozen in fear. When the creature looked at us, not a single part of my body wanted to move. Sure, I would rather be anywhere but here but I could not do it. The first of the four of us to move was Krum, and he did the most foolish thing possible with the privilege. The idiot leveled his wand at Cŵn Annwn, slashed it in a lightning bolt movement and proclaimed loudly to the world, “Avada Kedavra” His killing curse hit naught but air as the beast jumped in the air to avoid it and began tearing through the ground to cross thew distance between it and us.

“Run” Cedric screamed as he bolted left. Fleur fled in the opposite direction. As if intent on proving his lack of brain cells, Krum stood his ground and began the movements for another spell. Just like him, I did not move either, but my plan was less stupid.

I waited for the perfect moment even as I threaded my magic through my wand and into the ground. The beast jumped past a boulder on its way to us and it suddenly found itself being tossed to the side. The boulder it had passed, transfigured into a golem, had dived right into it as it jumped past. I clenched my teeth as Cŵn Annwn rolled on the floor for a second before it was back on its feet and staring right at the two of us.

The ground shook as my golem shuffled along it to take its place between Cŵn Annwn and my position.

A/N; And the chapter ends in a standoff. So how do you guys think this is going to go? A win for Doom? A humbling moment? An opportunity?
