"Come on," Axilia whispered. "That's all of them, darling. Let's move."
She and Ling Xin prepared to move out of the trees and get the hell away from those creatures while they were focused on the town, but I had different plans in mind.
Slowly, I got out from behind the covers of the trees and walked forward, closer towards the dinosaurs. This took Ling Xin and Axilia by surprise, and they moved to follow, but I stopped them a gesture of my arm.
"Wait here," I said. "I have Lorelei, who can more or less communicate with them through their souls. If you two show up, however, they'll take it as a sign of hostility."
Hearing this, Ling Xin's eyes widened. "Wait… are you trying to… make peace with them?"
I nodded firmly. "Listen. If we can ride one of those, making it out of this blizzard will be a piece of cake."
