Herik listened to explanations of the Outsider and it's worse than he thought. It understood it was a creature not to be trifled with, something like the Hound in comparison to strength maybe. Nothing any of them should mess with, but nothing they could run from either. He knew they shouldn't have dealt with Schmidt at all. Deal or no deal they're in a lot of trouble. Vashti stopped talking and turned to face him looking worse for wear. He stood from the bumper car and caught her while she leaned on the car, her eyes widen and her gaze panicked when she looked into his eyes. It's the Leviathan and that's not good at all. She looked more monstrous by the second, until there nothing left in her face, just an animal looking for it's next meal. 

The Outsider showed up, which is the scariest thing he's ever seen, and Leviathan was on the attack. Outsider shot it's finger at Maya.

"Maya!" Herik didn't have time to think, well he did, he thought about how he wanted to save her, get her out of harms way. He threw his left arm out and from his hand came a giant transparent gray lion that snatched Maya by the back of her with its teeth and brought her back to him the same time Leviathan hit Outsider with its tail. She came at him too fast to brace himself, so he fell back on the bumper car with her in his arms. Herik had a tight grip on Maya, afraid he'd drop her. The lion paced in front of them, tethered by its tail to his arm. Is that the? He looked at his ink, the lion on his bicep was gone and in its place was a [url=https://i.pinimg.com/600x315/96/56/14/965614090ee23a1d96a12b080c28a7ee.jpg]symbol[/url]. He recognized it from his childhood far away from here and on his mother's right shoulder blade. Whatever it meant he'll think about it later. For now he'll roll with it.

"You okay?" He asked Maya, setting her down on her feet.
