"ahhhh!" Marta gave a loud, startling scream when the beast Lucian was trying to communicate with opened its mouth to form two words. 'Help me.'
"If you scream again, I'm going to cut off your tongue." Luna threatened. Her eardrums felt like they were bleeding because of Marta's loud voice.
"Captain, the beast is dying." Soren said. He didn't want the beast to die so quickly, not when Lucian had finally made progress.
'Don't tell me that this thing is dying faster than it's supposed to because of the amount of beast magic I'm pouring into its cells in order to force it to speak to me.' Lucian thought. Suddenly he felt the presence of someone moving fast towards the stony little tent Marta made. He deactivated his beast magic, and just in time before the front of the tent was broken down.
"I think we have an unwelcome guest." Lucian turned his attention away from the beast and placed his hands on his sword. His teammates copy his movement.
"You!"
