The Akita was massive, a fine example of the breed-with the single exception of his current physical state: skeletal, matted, and attached to a cement post by a thick logging chain. He refused to let those things bother him, however; they were mere nuisances, after all.
What mattered most to him was that any of his captors-the men in black-who crossed his path would die.
Simple as that.
He was done with the torture, had enough of the domination; who were these men to treat him as a mongrel, a cur? Where was the respect he instinctively knew he'd earned and demanded in better days?
His mind may have been jumbled, with memories of the past escaping him-but he knew one thing for sure: he was more than this beast on a chain.
Knew he was born for greater things, knew he mattered somewhere; if only he could get back to wherever, whatever, whenever that was.
For now, he would wait...
The Knight's Chain, a short story, precedes The Curse of Cur, and can be read before Book 2 of The Chained Gods Series or after to flesh out the character of the Knight.
