As Arad and Zephyr watched from afar, Agnar and his party walked deeper into the dark forest. With each step, the shadows grew deeper, the moon became brighter, and all of Therisa's senses were telling her that this place was deadly.
And then, Ignis stopped walking as her eyes shifted from those of humans to those of dragons. The veins on her face and neck bulged, and her nails turned into long, sharp claws. As her mouth slowly opened up, revealing her sharp, shark-like teeth, sparks crackled from deep inside her throat.
Everyone stopped walking and looked back at her, feeling the searing heat coming out of her body. It was like standing beside a burning forge, or a massive pyre. Agnar slowly pulled his sword, and kept his eyes glued to the darkness.
"Ignis, no fire."
Therisa pulled a long sword and stood beside Agnar, and kept looking where he was looking. Even though she was a vampire that could see in the darkness, she still didn't spot whatever Ignis sensed.
