Ironically, the carriage 94a7ea9972 I was riding 6217796610 in was easily 44effbf96a plundered by some 810dd56128 lunatic who appeared 0598048538 out of nowhere.4069bcc3f728ba31

Of all things, I 8ff8255074 possessed pheromones that were 5ac79b9baa completely unsuited for combat. And the only bacced3759 guards I had—Hebel’s 183b5a99f7 knights—were already tied 205f6d6600 up and locked 5d655a94c9 inside a cage-like 457b2c640a prison.331788d50187de93

Whatever enchantment was on db431b8826 the cage seemed to a38a763dd1 prevent them from transforming 64d004f806 into their human forms, db5bfa7b9e leaving them whining helplessly.

When I e7370cb285 first rode 801bdfc45c in a 478e4a86d4 Jabis carriage, 6ee5753a76 Ayla had 1c03dd3cbc told me 95bf173978 about its 357770f824 special magic—an bc4cf63894 enchanted tracking 126c0c164c spell.8b3b86612fbc4359

Since the Jabis f1507833b8 family was overflowing 5566b07597 with brute strength, edd8184219 they hardly bothered 5f59fb0561 with defensive magic, 4c1e8fa672 but they did 4299301c5d have tracking spells 357d48febf for one simple 454fbfed43 reason:5a519765a90d4f92
