The Fire Turtle, engulfed in flames, stood before Su He, on guard for an attack from the Tengu and Houdou. Sensing the movement behind, it turned around and saw Su He awakening, its anxious eyes only then relaxing somewhat.
"Elder brother of our tribe!"
"Thank you! Younger sister, stay behind and protect yourself, leave the rest to me."
