Albin didn't have much time to reply to her. Before he could say anything, a massive grey wolf leaped from the forest towards Eadric and the slave girl. She half wished it went for the slaves neck, but such a thing was a bit too much to hope for. She had already had her bow at the ready by the time the wolf had deemed them not worth its time, and started running off int the forest. With a frown, she kept an arrow knocked and listened. Something was off, but she couldn't exactly say what.

For now though, she brushed it off, though she still remained wary. Instead, she turned her attention to Eadric.

He was spouting some nonsense about how they should all get along simply because they were no longer in the city. It was a logical argument at least. Strength in numbers and all that, though the slave looked almost absolutely useless as far as she could tell. Still, for now she'd bite her tongue in regards to the slave, but if the woman spoke to her, she'd learn the hard way slaves were not to speak out of line.

[color=f26522]"While you are correct in saying that we should at least attempt to get along for the sake of survival,"[/color] Maria said, bow still in hand as she walked over. [color=f26522]"A slave will always be a slave."[/color] She didn't get much of a chance to elaborate further, however as she suddenly lost her footing and stumbled forwards, almost right into Eadric.

Well, that was certainly odd. She wasn't even drunk.

She realized quite quickly what had caused the stumble, however.

The earth shook. The trees trembled and a few angry squawks of birds could be heard as their nests were disturbed. The ground shook again, leaves were shook form their branches as birds fled the area. Once more, and Maria quickly came to realize what had bothered her about that wolf.

Why hadn't it attacked them? An obvious question, one that she was fairly sure that the answer was now as obvious.

It was running from something. Her grip tightened around her bow, drawing an arrow from her quiver as she prepared herself for the worst.

[color=f26522]"Everyone! Ready your weapons!"[/color] She shouted. Whatever it was, it was big enough to cause the earth to tremble before it, and that meant it wasn't something that was going to be so easily dealt with.
