Gadriel was big, bigger than Hecate and Nyx's children by a handful, and he looked capable. When the flaming hounds charged — five in total, running as a pack — Melinoë reflexively tried to dash away from one that pounced on her, found her speed lacking, and stumbled as the beast lept and clamped its teeth down on her thigh.
Thankfully, it was the thigh covered in silver. Too bad it still knocked her off balance even while she plunged her dagger into its fiery mane.
