Scott wishes he could go back to sleep. 


These skin-walkers are creepier than any species he's encountered in his life. First of all, their appearances are terrifying. Scott's not trying to be rude but they truly do scare him a little. Second, their personalities are strange. Don is definitely not sane, Richy and Sal seem five years old in adult bodies, the others that Scott hasn't met just stare blankly and rarely talk. Scott feels as though he's entered a scary movie but the background characters don't get to speak. Like they have a limited budget.. 


But thankfully Scott's being dragged into the forest away from the crazies. It's just that there's another problem. He's going to become a host for a wyvern! 


Out of all the crazy scenarios Scott envisioned when preparing for the third trial, this was not on his list. 


"You seem energetic. I'm glad you're happy about this." Don seems to believe what Scott said.
