When the crocodile-peacock statue moves, Scott doesn't scream, no, he merely jumps and perhaps exclaims loudly, "What the hell!" 


And when he jumps, his friends jump. Eggy actually screams and flies into Scott's arms. 


Prince Cedric is more surprised by their reaction, "Caelus, did you not explain the Makara?" 


"Makara?" Scott looks at Draek who was still accompanying them. Scott recalled that Draek had introduced himself as a Makara, a crocodile-elephant shapeshifter. 


"My apologies." Caelus says, "I figured you all would already know.. The Makara are shapeshifters that can turn into statues, as you can see." 


"Then, Sir Draek as well?" Draca asks. 


"Yes." Draek nods politely. "Makara are guardians by nature, therefore many of my kin have become knights or warriors." 


"Your highness," the statue Makara suddenly speaks, "the portal is ready for departure."
