The Primal Hunter 9 (The Primal Hunter #9)

by Zogarth

Energy crackled as the gateway spun to life once more. Soon, a figure began emerging, and Helen was practically at the edge of her seat to see who the Chosen was. The first thing they saw were two glowing eyes in the swirling darkness of the gateway. Helen concluded it had to be some kind of monster, perhaps a dragonkin, but then a leg exited. Boots on humanoid feet. As the form was slowly revealed, Helenstromoz thought this humanoid looked familiar. "It can’t be," the A-grade beside her said, shaking. "It’s him?" Wait… Impossible! How? She also realized who the Chosen was as he stepped towards the magic circle. "Behold, the Chosen of the Malefic Viper! Jake Thayne!" Silence reigned, and frowns formed after many correctly saw he was a human. None had expected this… Perhaps a snake, likely a dragonkin, or, in rare cases, some other beast… but not a human. Doubt had begun to sprout, questions were forming, and disbelief was rampant. And then he stepped on the circle. A wave of his presence blasted through the halls, instantly washing away all doubt and shaking Helen to her very core as she and everyone else realized what stood before them. An apex predator. No… The monster who hunts them.
