504 Four Versus One

As her eyes turned normal, she glanced around before quickly pulling her sword away, sheathing it immediately. The pressure quickly faded, both the owl and fox rushed forward towards her, whimpering in fear for her wellbeing. 

She knelt down to calm them before looking at the Four Claws, all of whom slumped down in exhaustion. But they weren't tired enough to show a fearful look towards her. 

"I'm so sorry about this."

There was a guilty look on her face as she apologized to them. 

"I... had taken part in a war which has led me to end up with this condition. While the family that lived here left due to the encroaching danger, it would also be safer to get away from me."

She then looked at the Four Claws.

"Whether or not you still want my help is up to you", she told them.
