BC2 - Sense Tahnok

The route to Gali’s village took her through Lewa’s jungle-covered range. As she entered the moist shade beneath the tree canopy, she paused to listen. She heard only the normal sounds of dripping water and rustling wind.

Still, Gali sensed that something was not right in the jungle.

There are disturbances, she thought uncertainly. Strange pulsations…

Whatever it is, it was crashing through the underbrush, heading in her direction. A moment later she felt a blast of heat, and a dead tree trunk nearby burst into flames.

“Tahnok,” Gali muttered sourly as more than a dozen red figures burst out of the woods. She paused, watching as one of them breathed a column of flame at a lush Vuata Maca tree. The intense heat scorched parts of the trunk, but the dripping branches didn’t catch fire. The Tahnok rammed the tree, but the Vuata Maca’s deep roots held against the assault. Other members of the swarm were having similar problems.

“Not so easy for you here, eh, my Tahnok friends?” Gali said with sly amusement. “This place isn’t suited for your brand of mischief.”
