Chapter 2:
Zoah was quick to react by placing his glove on his right hand. He silently waited for the enemy to approach. The leaves on the tree next to him rustled as black mist approached the site where Zoah stood. They sky suddenly turned dark grey with thunder.
The rain outside splashed against Serge's bedroom window. He lay on his green bed, staring up at the ceiling, remembering when he first met Kid, and how annoying she had been.
Leena and Guile came into the room, carrying a large tray with assorted food and refreshments.
"Thanks, but I'm not hungry," Serge said in barely more than a whisper. Leena set the tray down beside him anyway.
"You need to eat, Serge, or else your body will get weak," she replied. Guile stood in the doorway. 'When will he ever take his mask off?' Serge mused.
"Leena, where is Kid?" Serge inquired abruptly. His tone was calm, yet there was something in his eyes that betrayed his coolness.
"On the deck practicing her skills in agility," Leena retorted, "only this time she wore a rain coat."
Kid was darting back and forth from the rail in top speed. The rain was becoming harder.
"Oi, I'm gettin' tired!" she thought aloud. "Damn! Thunder's rollin' in!" She looked over the rail and saw something big and dark moving below the surface of the ripples. "What the—?" BANG! The boat was hit hard underneath. Kid was knocked over the rail, and was barely hanging on with her left hand.
The others stormed out of the cabin, while Kid yelped with trying to hang on for dear life.
"Kid!" Leena screamed. She ran over and tried to pull her up, but that huge, dark thing had reached out a scaly hand to grop Kid's leg, and successfully pulled her under...
"HALT! WHO GOES THERE?" Zoah roared. The leaves rustled; the wind grew stronger; and the ground below Zoah seemed to be unstable. "I COMMAND YOU TO COME OUT! HOW DARE YOU THREATEN THE GREAT ZOAH?"
A wolf stepped out from behind the great oak tree. "Zoah, we meet again...my son."
