Axel led them for ten minutes to a shed where all the livestock were kept. Zero had to stop breathing for a while because of the stench and Truen couldn't go any nearer without a mask of some sort. Zero took pity on his friend and fashioned a mask with some quick discreet enchantments to block out the smell on his handkerchief pulled from the handy sling bag. Truen accepted it gratefully and they walked past some metal cages.
Truen swore he felt bloodlust coming from the quieter cages and was warier of them compared to the monsters roaring at them from their cages in the dark shed. Axel was unphased and even whistled a carefree tune as they made a turn to the wooden pens.
