"Hey I'll be back, I wanna go check if Bael is still busy," Shin said getting up from his seat.
Satel waved her hand dismissively at him. Shin turned and froze again.
What could you two be talking about for this damn long. Guess I should just fall asleep then.
Shin glanced over at Satel," yeah I'll just take a nap," he murmured under his breath seating back down.
**********
How long has it been now.
Gema stared at Bael with a hint of annoyance in her eyes, "Either our little friend is a bit shy or I was lied to, so which is it darling?" she asked.
Bael paused for a moment. "Thunder crocodiles tend to hunt till dusk, so right now it should be hunting,"he answered in a flat voice.
Gema rapidly tapped her fingers on her arm while looking around.
" Pawn, I really don't like fighting so speed up this search, "she said.
It's not making any better that I can feel you slowing clawing your way out of my control. You are Makelil are fucking freaks if I can't hold you both for a measly ten minutes.
Gema rubbed the sides of her head while letting out a long sigh.
"There will be no need for you to fight, I found one my queen," Bael said in slur.
Gema looked up at Bael.
Ah shit! I'm out of time.
She jumped at Bael and locked eyes at him, "Lock eyes with it," she commanded.
Bael didn't respond but through sharing their vision, Gema was able to see the figure of the nearly twenty meter long crocodile.
Its blue scales glistened like gold when it surfaced, and blended in with the crystal clear water when it submerged itself.
Jackpot! Finally!
The bird flew up infront of the blue thunder crocodile just as it surfaced.
Orange? So it's an awakened creature. It'll do just fine.
"Hold tight for me darling," Gema said taking a huge gulp of air.
The air slowed to a stop, suffocating those who were nearby. Gema's body began leaking out a thick pink mist as it climbed up into her eyes.
"I don't really have the luxury of taking it slow this time so here goes nothing," she said as the mist instantly disappeared into her body.
VVVZZZZZZ!!!
A deafening sound rang out from further down the river, startling everyone on the boat as everyone present rushed to cover the ears, including Gema who plopped onto the floor.
In the next instant the boat was hit by a violent wave of water sending everyone flying. Shin managed to catch Satel and grab onto the railing. Bael, still loosely under her control followed Shin and caught Gema in time.
"What the hell was that?" Shin asked, chest heaving.
When he looked at Satel he froze. She laid in his arm, black blood dripping down her face from her nose and fully unconscious.
He placed a hand on her chest as green energy illuminated his hand and began pulsing through her body.
"Hang in the Satel," he said in a panicked voice.
