Atrox felt something in the air, like claws scraping against his soul, and he wasn't the only one. Kade froze like a rabbit in the maw of a beast, and the team had stopped their butchering to look for where the tune came from. It sounded like a tune from a pipe but powered by something unnatural.
Something was happening. The cave trembled, the light dimmed, and then a whoosh sounded, though there was no air movement. The tunnel where the monsters had fled trembled, an aura that made the air quiver flowed out, and then the monsters exploded outward in a stampede that shook the ground.
Atrox noticed something was wrong at the same time as the others, but they were closer to the monsters than he was. Garran raised his sword, his blue shield expanding in front of him just before the monsters fell upon him. Unlike before, when the monsters had predictable movements, now they moved as though they truly wanted to kill.
