Keeping her focus on observing and trying to discern the events, Asteria noticed the appearance of two lizards, who had been hidden from her line of sight previously by one of the cave’s columns. Perhaps that had been what Lorek had been targeting initially? It honestly mattered no longer, for he was obviously furious due to having been attacked by Mei. Her attack left him severely wounded and he ran away or rather, floated away swiftly. The two opportunistic lizards still seemed focused on attacking the weakest Wisp. The other one, Danny, followed his injured fellow. Just in case the lizards tried changing their minds about who they should attack, Asteria hissed at them menacingly, puffing up as best she could.

And while she was warning the pair of lizards away just in case, Mei rushed back to her and their Mother, shivering and snuggling in between them.

She took several deep breaths to dispel her frustration and continued on in a much calmer manner. [color=F0E68C]“Whatever. It’s done now. This just cost us two or three potential allies though,”[/color] she muttered grumpily. Despite that, she brushed against her sister reassuringly. And that must have been based on her new instincts, because she couldn’t remember ever being so affectionate to someone who was basically a stranger – though technically a sibling.
