Bel was proven right. As more time passed, more and more Beastlings were killed.
The creatures were erratic, wild and hungry, and they would attack Aeric, Kael and Bel's position at times, but Kael's flaming shield magic kept them away until Alzera caught sight of it and dealt with them.
Because of this, Aeric made sure to stay close, supplies slung over his shoulders as he watched the team operate with impressive coordination.
However, one of the Beastlings managed to make it through Kael's shield when he was regenerating. Aeric was watching the battle but he caught a movement out of the corner of his eye.
He saw the Beastling slip through, darted around Kael and of course, it ignored the big strong man and the girl with a long powerful staff and headed straight for him — the dude carrying heavy bags.
'Fuck!'
