"Hold on to the jar!" I shouted to Calisto and passed him the jar.
"Why me?!" he asked in shock.
"Because these elephants are pissed and I don't feel very much like being turned into a human pancake."
"How do you know they're pissed?" Calisto asked and right on cue, the elephants broke down a tree and swung it at us. Before they hit us though, Murloc froze them in space, but not by ice. He froze them in time and place.
"Hurry! I can't hold them for long!" he warned.
"Let me try then!" Jethro offered.
"Nay, it requires knowledge of Draultese, you'd pass out saying it," Zaxl explained..
"Could you freeze them Calisto?" I begged.
"I wish I could but I am too old to be casting such spells," he shook his head.
"I will take over," Zaxl relented just as Murloc gave up. The elephants tried charging but he kept them at bay with his might and power. It was so impressive, I forgot how pissed off the bloody elephants were.
I cast a spell of Frostus Freezus but Yuna rebuked me for animal cruelty.
"What are you doing that for?" she soothingly asked.
"Those elephants tried to murder us!" Jethro shouted.
"They were attacking a field mouse dearie. Elephants are terrified of mice. Didn't you know that?"
"No. in all honesty. All right Zaxl you can stop casting the spell," Jethro sheepishly smiled.
Zaxl did just that and the elephants ran past us and squashed the poor mouse.
"Glad that's over!" I exclaimed.
"All of us are. Now, let's go eat," I worked up a massive appetite," Murloc said.
