Pa!
Aron abruptly gave one of the creatures a strong slap across the face. The creature's torso jolted up in reaction, appearing to be trying to stand, but...
Bam!
Aron quickly pushed one hand down on its chest and crushed it back to the ground.
"Stop tensing up and look at me." Aron spoke quietly to the frightened creature, whose mind appeared to be in shock and unable to comprehend what was happening.
But after catching a glimpse of Aron, a rough picture could be painted that caused its eyes to widen, and at that point, terror started to flow from it.
"You…" As it turned to face Aron, the creature appeared to be at a loss for words and just stumbled over its words.
"Just respond to my inquiries... what are you?"
Aron used Dim, the language he had first learned under his father's instruction, to converse with the creature.
