Huff. Huff. Huff. Luna panted and rushed at top speed. At first, she had been extremely excited that she found a big mana core. Personally, she would have loved to nibble on it and swallow the yummy thing.

The little fox was very nervous. She could sense that something big was going to happen. 

Was her master going to make a move against the weird insects? She wondered what he was planning and flew forward without holding back as fast as she could.
