Stay with the Flock...

The Carnosaur was a sub-adult, but still plenty dangerous. It would be a workout for Khazaan, a muscle loosener. But the beast, in all it's primeval tyrannosaurus glory, would be more than a match for the sheep. It was already alert, sniffing around. Perhaps it had caught Khazaan's scent or heard his footsteps. Perhaps the jungle had warned it somehow.

Khazaan didn't know, or care, axe already in hand. Just the one; two were unnecessary for him, anyway.

Terrance followed the beast's lead, keeping as close as he could without being in the way, his ears twirling this way and that to listen out for danger and when his eyes laid upon the dino before him, his breath caught in his throat.

He stared at the sharp teeth, claws, the hardened crest atop its head. He had no time to admire much else though, for Khazaan didn't wait for introductions, the guide's axe struck the beast and Terrance could barely react as Khazaan dove out the way.

"...." Terrance stayed where he was for a long moment, hesitated, afraid of a lie... Or even the truth....

Finally, the taur shuffled a little closer to the opened cage, hesitating once more before slowly stepping down from the heightened bars, staggering a little on uneasy legs and holding his arms up to block out the light, blinking a few times to get used to the light.

Golden eyes fell upon the tall, dark man and the taur shrank back again, looking small, frail, weak.

Jovanni body flinched at the words Merchandise. This was LIVING breathing creature. Not a fucking thing to be sold. He took another breath in as for first time in long time he let his claws out of his hands. His finger nails become jagged claws at the end of his fingers. He had no done this since he was in the mob.

He shoved his hand through the salemen's throat. Making him choke on his own blood as ripped it feel without letting the man make much more noise. He should have made it hurt more but, Jovanni was more worried about getting this young man free.

Jovanni put blanket over the dead body getting the key from the man belt. He wiped his hand free of the blood as he walked over back to cage. He took the key and opened the door.

The man was an easy kill and he fell unceremoniously to the floor, choking until his final breath. But there was more where that came from, he had a whole entourage after all, waiting outside, unknowing what happened to their boss.

When the cage opened and more light streamed in through the opened cloth, Terrance scrambled back again, breathing heavy, ears pinned back.

His legs seemed sore, as if he had been kept in chains, his wool matted and thick, his body near enough seeing ribs.

"BUT I AM!"

Goofy. Stupid. His confidence waned, but he was able to laugh a little at himself instead of wither away about it. "I'm Lark!"

"BETTER YET! Lark Wren."

He blinked in confusion, staring the cat-man up and down.

He had no idea who this man was, or what he wanted... Thankfully, whatever he was telling him to hide from, the cloth that covered the cage did most of the work.

But he had learnt to obey, squeezing his eyes shut and blocking his ears with a whimper.

❛  you never know who might be aiming to hex you.  ❜

❛  i can do some basic spells.  ❜

❛  can you even do basic spells?  ❜

❛  my magic is more than just a spell for good fortune.  ❜

❛  focus. magic requires rapt attention.  ❜

❛  see! i told you that you could do magic!  ❜

❛  are you a fool? magic is the devil's work.  ❜

❛  magic is forebidden, and we should all be grateful.  ❜

❛  if it were up to me, magic would be forebidden.  ❜

❛  witch!  ❜

❛  are you a witch / wizard / sorcerer?  ❜

❛  are you a sorcerer? or a party entertainer? ❜

❛  just hold your hands like this ... see? magic.  ❜

❛  watch closely. can you see it? the magic in the air?  ❜

❛  listen. you can hear the hum of the magic if you do.  ❜

— You don't know what a Satyr is? — Came her question and a tilt of her head. Well, that would be a first. She thought they were everywhere! — They are similar to you and me but from the waist down they have two little goat legs and they are about this high.

The centaurette moved as so show that they hit a little bit above her knees. His question caught her by surprise.

He listened eagerly, but he seemed distraught and a little surprised when she asked who Akun was... Whats more, WHAT he was.

It was a steaming jungle, buzzing with blood-hungry flies and alive with the sound of exotic birds calling and the overhead screeching of raptors on the wing. Khazaan tested the air and then, without so much as a glance behind him, began take off in a direction with purpose.

He had found something.

Terrance followed the beast into the thick air, his own nose twitching and his wool already feeling heavy with the heat of the humidity around them.

Eyes looked up to Khaz, watching as he took in the scenery, how he hunted, caught scent and as he marched off, Terrance followed, keeping a steady trot to keep up with those large strides.

— Indeed I have, but it's been very long. — Maleficent replied. — Come forward, child. No harm is to come to you here.

The taur hesitated, if anything happened, he would be sure to run after all.... He was fast.
