The wind picked up and the sky rubbled as Zion closed in on our imposter. Dreadlocks scrambled away on the concrete. His lips and temple were stained with blood. His shirt was scorched at the front, displaying singed skin. It only proved that he wasn't Typhon but someone else. Typhon would've pulled a harder fight.

"Who are you?" Zion spoke casually as he stalked him. His hair and clothes jostled against the wind.

Dreadlocks let out a cynical laugh as he rolled to his stomach. He grunted. "If you wanna know so bad..."

I stared as his nails stretched and pierced the ground. A tail extended from the waistband of his trousers, ending in a snakehead. His shoulders grew wide as a second human head poked out from between his shoulder blades. It was almost identical to the first, except for the fact that it breathed out fire instead of carbon dioxide.

Dreadlocks was also a chimera. But he was currently in his partial form -- which is extremely freaky.

I stared dumbfounded at Dimitri. "What do you mean 'you quit?'"
