' My body was shaking, but it wasn't from the fear of us being possibly found, no it was shaking because of the new power I could feel from finally becoming whole. My consciousness also felt more whole, like this entire time it seemed as if I was half asleep and now I was fully awake. I wonder~'
Turning my eyes inwards to see my beast I saw that she was still there with her eyes closed. "Umm hello?"There was no answer.
'So I was right, she was me, and I was her. I wasn't hearing a separate voice at all but my own. Okay well that's one mystery solved. Now for the other one which is what kind of monstrosity is out there. Deb do you know?'
[Your level of analysis is not high enough to be able to tell by the sound alone.]
'Well okay then. Deb can I see my stats again?'

'Okay nothing has changed there then. I wonder how big I would be when I fully transformed. Hopefully bigger than Shadow.'
Here I snickered to myself before realizing that Shadow probably heard that, Oops. I looked up and saw his eyes looking down at me dancing with laughter.
"I'm sure you'll be pretty tall little mate. " He smirked then added, "Until I grow taller that is." He laughed cheekily through the link.
I playfully reached back and softly punched him. Causing him to laugh even harder.
' It's a good thing this was all in our minds because I swore his laughter was deafening.'
The roars outside started to fade along with the shaking of the earth underneath our feet, Altias soft growls which had been going this entire time began to subside. She looked down at all of us and breathed out softly covering us all in warm air.
"The creature is gone now, I think though it would be safe to stay here for the night. It's late already as is, we should rest."
Everyone beded in after that. The stress of not knowing what was out there along with knowing that Xian was dead left all of us fatigued. Raji, Layla, and Mimi were being told by their Fox Deer partners why we were settling down for the night and that Xian was no longer with us. Since they had been the last to know their reactions were hard to watch. I tried not to look but their crying soon brought tears to my own eyes and I couldn't help grieving along with them.
Shadow put his head on my shoulder and gently nudged my cheeck. "You okay little mate? "
'Yea, just it's sympathy tears and well just tears in general at the whole situation. Xian is dead and that means it's just us. Out of the twelve who started this trial of life, there is just...us."
'I couldn't finish because it hit me then. It WAS just us. We had this month to level up, gain experience, our titles and to make it home alive with proof of our trial.
I guess I really needed this, to cry and let loose everything else that the laughter didn't release. This entire day has both been the best and worst of my new life. Crying and laughing it all out has released the rest of the pressure I didn't know I was holding in. It felt good.'
I started to feel tired, leaning my head against Shadow I closed my eyes and let the feelings take me away.
