For a moment, Tam was stunned. In the space where he had expected to see an enormous beast or at the very least some kind of threatening creature, there was nothing. He was at a loss, he could feel the dense mana growing closer to him, so there must be a threat.
Then, the shifting light and odd space where the trees appeared almost identical to those around them made complete sense, the beast had a reflective hide, and was mostly invisible amongst the irregular vegetation.
Tam was taking no chances, and immediately cast his Hawk Aura, the dense blue aura shrouding him in a powerful urge of enemy, and the pair of huge blue hawk's wings extending from his back.
With a few powerful flaps, Tam flew into the air, hovering above the narrow track that he and his soldiers had been traversing. Awaiting the beast.
