Quickly recovering from the sudden jolt, Rein darted out of the bag and hopped onto Kaeer's head. "So much blood! So much blood! Mistress! Oh no!" he wailed as he scratched her head with his tiny claws trying to rouse her. Trembling he could hear the monsters rounding the final corner and knew they would soon be upon them, but he did not know what to do. In his terror and fixation, he never saw the cabal of wizards - his mistress' comrads - teleporting into the field behind him. But even so, they would not arrive in time, and deep in his heart Rein knew it.
Quaking, Rein hopped into defensive position behind Kaeer and began chittering a warning to his monstrous attackers. Undeterred, the kruthiks swarmed around their meal and descended upon them. A swift claw dug into the dirt where Rein had dodged from. He swiftly darted amongst the chitinous beasts, nipping at their legs but doing little to distract them from Kaeer's prone form.
"Leave her ALONE!" boomed the enraged little animal as his fur stood tall. The air smelled of ozone and crackled with sparks as Rein unleashed the chain lightning spell his mistress had entrusted with him. All around the kruthiks screamed and smoked and died. And still more came. From outside of the enclosing circle of chittering monstrocities a larger, wiser kruthik knelt forward - large spines on his back positioning themselves forward. |
