"Why do you all look so shocked? I can tame a couple of beasts. It's not a big deal." Damon chuckled.
Mark sighed and turned around, going back to his rest while Kate cautiously walked forward to take a closer look at the bird. "You can come as close as you want. She won't bite."
Kate's steps slowed as she neared the towering beast. The Roc's molten eyes followed her every movement, the heat radiating from its feathers forcing her to squint against the shimmering air. When she was just a few paces away, the great bird gave a low, rumbling screech which made her take a step back.
"Don't trust the demon, my Lord." Erin immediately snorted in contempt. It was clear that she hated the damned bird.
"You guys. Just relax. There is a taming contract in place. Just go and pat her." Seeing that Kate was still hesitant, Damon walked over and personally lifted Kate up.
