"Dammit, it would kill us all at this rate." The leader coughed as he got up, sprinting the moment he took in a deep breath. At present, he didn't have the luxury to stop and think. Whether the Pakou was a wild beast or someone's Pranic Avatar, all he had to do was kill it and capture Re'Kha.
There were only three scouts now, including him. So, they didn't have any choice but to act fast. The other two scouts had shortened the distance with Re'Kha by now, on the verge of catching up with her.
One of them summoned his Pranic Avatar in hopes of buying time against the Pakou while removing his mask. Now that they had exited the settlement, there was no longer a point in wearing them, for the Kalhas only lived in places protected from the rain.
