"Tolk you know why we can't bring them with," Seth scolded.
"We can't leave them here," Tolkalee snapped back. "We have to leave as soon as possible. The herd is headed this way, and I will not leave these girls to deal with it. Would it be better to take them with us, or leave them to die?"
"I'm not saying leave them here, but I am telling you to think about where we're going. Do you really want these girls to come with us to a war?" Seth asked.
Tolkalee went silent not knowing what to do.
Amana knelt down next to her sister. "Salaa, we can't stay here."
"But why?" Salaa whined.
"Salaa," Amana said quietly. "You know that if we stay here, Adan and Aidar will kill them."
After a moment Tolkalee walked over to the trap door, and stuck his head down. "Amana, I need your opinion, please. Also food is ready if you want something," he called to them.
Amana sighed, pulling her sister up. "Come on, Salaa." She helped her sister up the ladder and followed Tolkalee.
Seth handed Salaa a piece of toast and had her sit by the fire. Then he went and joined Tolkalee and Amana. "We are headed to war," Tolkalee explained. "Not far behind us is the giant scorpion herd. Not giant as in there are lots of them. Giant as in the are huge. We want to know if you'll be okay here, or if you would rather come with us."
Amana sighed. "We can fight. And as much as I wish you could take Salaa, she's better off with me. We can take care of ourselves, trust me."
"I don't think you understand. You can't fight this herd. Not even an army can fight this herd," Seth explained. "We need you to have somewhere to go. You have to leave, either before we do or at the same time."
Amana smirked. "I doubt that. We'll be just fine."
Seth shook his head, getting incredibly frustrated with her. Tolkalee just shrugged, pulled his coat on, strapped one of his swords to his waist, and walked to the door. "Come on, I'm gonna show you why you can't fight this herd," he motioned for Amana to follow, and walked out the door.
Amana scowled and followed. Inside her head, Aran hissed. He thinks we're weak.
He trudged through the snow that was now past his knees, not really caring if Amana followed or not. The wind was still howling, and tearing through them. He continued for probably twenty minutes, covering a lot of ground. Stopping just under a hill and waiting till Amana was right next to him.
Amana scowled at him. "Well?"
He said nothing and walked up the hill. Once over the ridge millions upon millions upon millions of moving bodies could be seen. They weren't moving forward, they were just walking in circles. They were huge twice the size of Tolkalee and Seth combined. And there were millions of them. "One sting, one little graze, and you will die. The venom takes immediate effect, if you only get grazed you'll have maybe ten minutes. A full sting and you have less than three."
Amana shifted her skin into metal, smirking at him. "I'm a shapeshifter. I can handle them."
"And your sister?" Tolkalee raised an eye brow at her.
"She has Aidar," Amana said simply.
"What can she do?" Tolkalee asked genuinely curious.
Amana stared at him for a long moment before saying coldly, "She can generate light and heat from her hands and she has Aidar, who is the best at protecting her. Better than myself."
"Alright, suit yourself," Tolkalee shrugged and began walking back towards the cabin.
Amana smirked slightly, then turned her amber eyes down towards the creatures.
They were walking in circles still, they seemed to not even know which way was up. Tolkalee looked back to her. "You coming? Or are you just going to stand there watching them?" he called to her.
