'What happened here?'
Kind of confused Zhou decided to ask after he saves these people. Walking forward towards the giant wolf, Zhou was thinking about what weapon he should use because he wanted to look cool while he was saving these people.
Finally deciding to use a stave he stopped walking to Start a spell. He didn't chant he just wanted to summon a giant icicle and make it look cool by making it start out small and making it bigger for a couple seconds. While this was happening the group of injured people spotted what Zhou was doing and looked at him in confusion and curiosity.
As it only took a couple second to get wide as a head and as long as a body layed down and it had a really pointy end. At this point everyone in the room was still and everyone had a confused look and the wolf had a fearful look it was the only one that could sense the danger that Zhou was giving off right now and no one was paying attention to it as it was cowering in fear.
In silence everyone was looking at the icicle that Zhou had made. Finally, as the icicle had gotten to the sze that Zhou liked he finally released it. It was almost as if time was slowed down, everyone in the room, including the wolf watched as the icicle traveled through the air as if in slow-mo towards the wolf. Everyone in the room finally noticed the wolf cowering in fear in slow motion as the icicle flew towards him. then in the last second as the icicle was a few centimeters away from the wolf the wolf stopped trembling and stopped moving. It looked as if the wolf was waiting for death and was calm about it, the whole time this was happening the wolf was feeling as if he was going to die no matter what. What no one knew, not even Zhou, was that this Situation wasn't caused by Zhou. If it was just Zhou forming the icicle, no one except the person at the door and the wolf would notice. The wolf wouldn't care because he was moving and the icicle would follow him and it would miss.
Now finally as the icicle finally arrived at the wolf it pierced the skin and fur of the wolf and finally everything sped up to the people in the room and the icicle passed through the wolf. Now there was a giant hole in the wolf, no blood came out and after a few seconds the body disappeared and only a fur was left and some jewels were left and a bead that was green in color with the jewels. the bead was a magical core.
After a couple minutes of awkward silence Zhou finally spoke up "Is every one okay?"
Hearing this everyone have Zhou a weird look that was filled with different emotions. Some were sadness, others were relief, one emotion that everyone in the group had right now was confusion and wonder.
