"Hi, kids. Man, if you grow up like mushrooms!" Tezka said with a laugh, lifting the kids with his tails. "Have you been good in my absence?"
"Very good." Falco nodded. "Uncle Lith even introduced us to our new friends. Come here, Tempest, meet… Tempest?"
The Ry was so still that if not for her chest heaving, one would have thought she was dead.
"Myrdin, are you okay?" Lenart asked, shaking the fluffy Byk, yet obtaining no response.
"Don't worry, they just fainted." Tezka chuckled. "My bad. I can have this effect on those powerful enough to understand how strong I am but too weak to fight me."
A bit of cold water made the magical beasts regain their consciousness, and a hug shielded them from the Suneater's aura. He would never harm the kids, so their presence neutralized the aura he exuded.
"Wimps." Onyx scoffed.
"Like we reacted any differently." Abominus snorted.
