Chapter 65
I dismounted Sonya and gave her back a pat. "Go to them."
The Ratnak jogged to the group, Pochi stood behind the tank.
After my mount joined them, Alyssa waved her staff and a silver dome expanded from her position outwards, enveloping everybody around her. The little flying things that had come close enough were pushed away by the barrier and fell to the ground.
That looks cool. I nodded.
I looked back at the approaching bug. It was green, as big as a humming bird, and had compound eyes like a fly. I stepped back and swatted it away with a hand. A disturbing sound came as it burst against my gauntlet.
"FU!" the feeling made my voice come out louder than I intended. "Ugh!"
"HAHA!" Yolin’s laughter resounded in the clearing. "They’re really nasty."
I turned back and saw her walking out of the dome as if it wasn’t there. She had her two extra pair of arms connected to her body, swatting the bugs around.
"The sound... it’s... there’s no word in Common." I shook my head and swatted another one. "Disgusting falls short."
"I get you." she nodded as she swatted six bugs. "Common doesn’t have much variety."
More bugs were gathering around us and throwing their bodies against ours. I kept swatting at them and the sounds kept coming.
