Moonlight filters through the skylight in Niall's study. Because of course we would do this moonrise ritual there, where Niall has set up protection fields, and Elandior and Hans have coated the very walls with elven magic.
Everyone has gathered: tamers, beasts, and Maartenwitz. The air is thick with beast scents and human eagerness.
Standing together on the floor, Lightning and I grip the Amulet of Beast Power in our paws. Hard to hold onto, but our claws do the heavy lifting.
Niall addresses us. "I don't have any incantations for this. It's more a matter of intentions than the right words. This is pure animal instinct. Blaze and Lightning know what to do."
We do.
I communicate with Lobo. [Tell me one more time what they said we have to do on the forums.]
He stands straight, tail and ears erect. [Actually, it wasn't all on the forums. Someone DMed me with the details.]
[Same difference. Tell me.]
