304 Arthur's stance

"You are not an invader," the voice of the monster filled my eardrums, spreading through the entire area as if its words were the gospel from the heavens. 

As the voice passed by the area, the entire place turned silent, as if not a single element of flora and fauna nearby dared to make even the smallest noise. 

Such was the power behind each of the monster's words. 

"And you are not an owl," I replied after gathering my courage and resting my weight upon Mia's shoulder. 

'Is she going to be okay?' I asked myself, stealing a glance at the girl's face. 

I didn't even need to look at Mia to understand just what the hell was going on with her. Sure, I didn't even have the slightest clue as to why was it happening, but I could see just how insane amounts of energy she continued to pull, only to dump it all on me.
