ZINA (Five Hours Ago; Before the Second Round Of Torture)
Did it resemble something familiar?
Zina mulled over the question that seemed to hold a double meaning. Even though her mother alleged that Zina had seen the Deformed twice, that was factually incorrect.
Zina had encountered the Deformed twice, but only seen the monster once. The first encounter was when she was still blind and that happened when she died in the hands of Xalea Borne—an event that seemed to be ages ago.
The second encounter was when the deformed attacked during Daemon's coronation as Alpha King of the Arctic North. Even then in the scurry of her putting her body between the creature and Daemon, she barely had the time to study its features carefully as it had been lightening fast.
But she still did see some features, and the one thing that stood out for her was how the Deformed looked like a werewolf that stood on two legs. In that manner, it could be said to resemble closely a Lycan shifter.
