Astaroth bobbed his head while looking at the same blanket of stars that Elysia was looking at. For now, this silent peace between the two of them was oddly tranquil. For but an instant, Astaroth felt like he was back on Earth. He felt like he was conversing with a friend that he had known for many, many years.
Then, out of nowhere, his danger senses entered a state of high alert as he felt subtle tremors spread beneath his soles.
"Pigy! Pigy!"
His squeaks of urgency took Elysia out of her reverie as she felt the earth tremors as well. "What is that?" she asked as she reactivated her protection device. She made sure to designate Astaroth as a non-targeted existence.
As the echoing forest sounds came to a standstill, both Astaroth and Elysia rose from their positions and felt the tremors becoming more and more prominent. Whatever was coming was coming fast!
