I hastily grabbed at the small girl's cloak and pulled her back before the oversized half-bat splattered her against the ground.

"Run," I said as I tried to pull away at the Nargacougar's attention. But the bastard took only a couple of sniffs in my direction and snorted.

"Oi! I can't be smelling that bad!" I said as I threw a rock at it. But the Nargacougar didn't even bother with me as it hissed then looked around for the small girl.

"I hate being ignored," I grumbled inwardly as I jumped on the Nargacougar's back. The beast didn't like that. As it hissed and howled at me to let it go. That could have been an option. It would have been the most logical thing anyone in my position should do.
