Chapter Eight
Eithet
"We need to hurry up. They would have noticed that we have left by now," Tevisin commanded. Tevisin had a battery in his hand. It was strange though. Light was emitting from the battery. Tevisin was controlling the electricity of the battery to create a light. "Folit, can you please make a fire in your hand?"
"I-I-I am trying Tevisin. I am scared right now. If I make a fire now it will get out of control," Folit stuttered in retort.
Suddenly a roar rang out through the forest. Sparks started to fly off Folit. Bolts of electricity flew out of Tevisin. Eithet started to shrink. Fihu turned invisible for a few seconds. Tree roots started to form a protective cocoon around Tekat.
"What the heck was that!" Eithet screamed. The roar rang out again, this time much closer. The bushes besides them started to shake. Out step a tall man with a hood covering his face.
"Get down!" the man commanded them, in a deep thundering voice. When they didn't listen, he yelled at them, "Get down you fools! That was a manticore roar! It will kill you if you don't get down!"
Out of the woods came a large beast. The manticore had arrived.
Manticore-A creature from Persian mythology that had a human head, a lion body, and the tail of a scorpion that could launch spikes
