Kravenza, The Demon Forest Part II

“Please stop!!”

He was lost in his thoughts for a while before a man ran up and got in their way at such a scary close range. Wisana and Waree almost ran him over, but they could pull back the reins to stop the birds just in time. Snow seemed to be obedient, unlike Gold that was about to dig its big foot in that man, and Wisana had to stroke its feathers slightly to calm it down.

“Easy now, Yellow. He's not an enemy. Stop being chickened out.”

SHRIKE!!

Gold screeched in a treble tone as if it was saying, “Yellow is not my name. Also, who are you calling chicken?!”

“Ugh! That was close.” That man sighed out in relief. He was quite tall, dressed in an orange construction worker uniform. He had a large storm lantern in his hand, and his helmet was hanging around his neck. When Wisana got a better look, he noticed that there were dozens of people dressed like the man working ahead. All of them were surrounding some construction tools behind them.

“What’s wrong?” Waree asked.
