There was still no sign of my familiar. I worried that he had been gobbled up by a pair of the strong jaws that threatened us now. Zoar’s lips moved in what I imagined to be a curse, but I couldn’t make it out with the chorus of growls and the laughter spilling from Maximus.
“You see? You have no chance against us. Give it up and we’ll make your death quick.”
Laughter echoed around us. Even they didn’t believe his words. Ash didn’t seem the least bit dissuaded from the onslaught. Instead, his lion roared and grew in size. The fire was so bright I had to wince to be able to make out the beast. “Say what you will, but by the end of this day there will be far more wolf blood staining this ground than there is any of ours.” His lion roared in agreement before running full scale at a group.
