[ the rest of her party were collecting firewood, leaving aeryn to guard the camp. it's typically not the brightest of plans; aeryn, while a powerful mage, isn't the strongest of creatures, and hates camping to boot. so she's relatively wary, watching her surroundings carefully from her seat upon a stump in the forest.
but she hears the crashing. the bellow of what sounds like an angry beast -- and aeryn immediately leaps to her feet, the incantations of the arcane on her tongue as she whips her staff in front of her, defensively, before she sees . . . a boy? and -- a what?
