Selene had no idea how she got into this mess. Somehow, she and the recruit, Matthias, were put in charge of — for lack of better wording — babysitting the Hadean's hellhound, Khaos. It was safe to say that the hound took his name quite literally.

They each stood on opposite sides of the room, with Khaos in the centre. It was a vicious game of piggy in the middle. Well, one where the two had to catch the piggy.

Matthias was the first to take a step toward the creature, which was a big mistake. Then it had only occurred to them that all it was to Khaos was one big game; his eagerness was being taken for aggressiveness.

Khaos ran head first into the closed door, smashing through it as if it were glass, straight into the east wing corridor. 

One look is all they gave each other before bolting through the — now broken — door, trying not to knock over the valuable antiques displayed throughout the halls. Destroying one room was more than enough.

"Where the hell—" Matthias took a deep breath, "—is it going?"

All Selene could do was let out a groan as she realised the thing wanted to go outside... and that was precisely where Khaos was heading. 

"All it wanted to do was play outside, genius." She rolled her eyes, collapsing onto the nearby chaise lounge. 

All Matthias could do was shrug at his mentor, looking outside the window to see the vague blur of Khaos running through the greenery.

"For someone as old as you, you don't really get how these things work, do you?" Matthias dared to question her, leaning against the wall nearby.

Selene was about to scold her protege before noticing the look on his face. "I suppose so. We've never had the chance to have any pet, let alone one of those." She sighed, sitting up from her dramatic recline. "Vincent has given us many opportunities that our previous leaders daren't give us."

"Knowing Vincent, I can't possibly imagine how the previous leaders were." Matthias let out a small laugh, which Selene reciprocated.
