The first creature screamed. The second stared at us, as if trying to figure out who we were.
"What are you? Please don't kill us! I want to live!" The first one started to panic.
"Wait, that's the group that King Solar mentioned!" The second creature yelled at the first.
"What group?" The first yelled back.
"The one we were sent to capture, you fool! Get them!" The second creature replied harshly.
"Oh, right!" The first creature, a white, bipedal being with large ears ran at us without paying attention to it's surroundings. It tripped on a root and fell face first into the frozen earth.
"Ugh, looks like I'll have to do this myself." The second creature, a white, bipedal being with a bird-like beak whistled into the sky.
Nothing happened. The animal with the large ears started to get up, but didn't do anything. It just stared at us with it's colorless eyes along with it's bird-ish partner. I stared back on confusion. Whatever these two were sent out to do, they weren't very good at it.
Suddenly, the ground started to vibrate. I could her footsteps pounding on the cold dirt from each direction. In almost an instant, we were surrounded by what seemed like a pack of dark gray cougars.
The alpha of the pack stepped forward. It had one eye and a shorter tail than the rest of it's group.
"You called us, 2?" The alpha asked the bird-beaked creature.
"Yes, Refala." It started to whisper to the one-eyed feline.
What are they planning to do to us? I thought to myself, staring to worry.
Refala turned back to our group. She opened her mouth and shouted.
"Elaties, attack!"
