章節 621: Don't Poke the Bear

RETH

Reth raced to the Portal clearing in his beast, making it there in a little over half an hour. But he stopped just shy of the end of the trail. Gawhr would have heard him coming—especially with the horses pounding behind him. But he couldn't afford to antagonize the Bear Alpha. The male was erratic at the best of times. He would be in a rage now—and given the scent of blood in the air, Reth just prayed that Gahrye was still alive.

The guards—ten already there, and another twenty on their way, just in case many of the bears were awake—all slid to a halt, returning to their human forms to gather around him among the trees. He waited until the two fist leaders had gathered their ranks and turned to him, then issues quick, efficient instructions.

"You stay here among the trees unless you hear me growl, then you approach slowly unless I call for battle. We are here to make peace, not antagonize war, do you understand?"
