Chapitre 458: Share the Pain

~ SASHA ~

Horton explained to Zev that as word spread that the humans were hunting to kill and some of the creatures became aggressive.

They attack out of fear.

He accompanied the statement with images of creatures in full charge—running towards their enemies, snorting their challenge—and falling to the dirt in crumpled heaps, as soon as they reached twenty or thirty feet from the humans. 

And always, in the end, the humans made certain that the creatures were dead, then just left them there.

The forests of Thana were littered with bodies. All strange. All unique. All guilty of nothing more than wanting to protect themselves and their friends. 

Sasha cried. It was so tragic and unnecessary. Then her anger rose to choke her and Zev murmured to her to stay calm. That he was struggling to control his own rage and he needed to stay in his right mind.
