Aegnith was about to open her mouth, but Mildor quickly covered it with his hand, bringing her close to him as he watched the beast slowly prowl forward, his eyes narrowed. He didn't say a word, afraid that if he so much as whispered, the beast could detect it and be upon them. Slowly, he'd turn and pick Aegnith up by the waist and lift her into a tree, in which she'd quickly scurry up and hide high up in the branches, her eyes wide in fear. Her brother then jumped up, grabbing a branch, and was trying to pull himself up, but his feet slipped against the rough bark. He chose to lift himself up by sheer muscle, and it was quite difficult for such a young kid.
