Axelius stared at the dark part of the forest where the Schattler had vanished. He gulped again and thought:
"So you're saying… those are the kinds of monsters I'll be taming?!"
He shivered a little.
Owen quickly tried to lighten the mood. "W-Well! There are still good-looking monsters out there! Let's focus on those! Like, uh… shiny ones. With feathers. Or something."
Theo looked at Axelius, a bit concerned. "Should we go back? I don't think Axelius is ready to see monsters that gruesome."
But Seraphina shook her head firmly. "This is part of training. These creatures live with us on this continent. If he's going to become a real Tamer, he has to get used to them."
Axelius took a deep breath. "…There's probably much better ones here," he said with a shaky grin, looking around the trees again. "Yeah… better looking… less creepy ones."
