Eyad kept watching the road, the houses, and everything with immense amazement. But he was surprised by something else he had been anxiously anticipating since they arrived here. He saw more of the creatures peeking their heads out of the windows, staring at him with looks of gloom, anger, and fear.

He was sure of this when he saw one of them riding a Kalyarus, passing by him, and looking at him with sparks almost flying from its eyes.
