Connor looked around as he heard the voice. Was he really being spared or another trick? His question was soon answered as he was ejected out of the water. The hunter hit the ground hard, giving a slight moan. Fortunately he wasn't too badly hurt or he would still be here. Connor quickly got up and backed away from the lake. "Yeah, keep the bucket," he muttered as he ran back to the cave where Paige and Mars were. The hunter stopped as he noticed a problem. Where was he?

Mat stood for a while in shock as the girl who had seemed like she wanted to kill him earlier now seemed...different. He heard the girl yelling about some dragon and took a step back. Mat looked behind him, should he start running? Was this a trick or did he actually do something to affect her? "Uh..." He literally had no idea what to do or say. His instincts told him to run but his curiosity kept him there. "You have no idea why I punched you? No recollection?" He didn't want to say that she was pursuing him incase it was a memory lapse and him saying it to her would have her remember.

Rand took several steps back from the lycan, looking around for a weapon. It growling was not a good sign as it likely meant it was going to attack him. Rand rushed to a tree and snapped a branch off. It was about two feet long and the tip was hardly sharp but it was all he had. Rand faced the lycan again but was surprised as it morphed back into human form. That was not a usual move.

The familiar shouts of Penny made Rand whip his head over to where he heard the voice. [i]Lure me out?[/i] He wondered, then stared back at the lycan. "Stay away, I've killed three lycans together with less than this," he threatened. It was slightly true, but he did take them by surprise and had to have Perrin assist him. Rand turned to run to where Penny's voice was. "Penny! Penny! Stay where you are! I'll come find you!" He shouted, running towards where he heard her. Rand kept an eye back where the lycan was, ready for any kind of attack. Rand finally found Penny and stopped. "Penny, we need to get out of here now. Stay with me this time alright?" Rand held out his hand but also remained vigilant for any other attackers.
