Beast of Ti'An

Jake looked back with surprise, to look at the direction from which this attack had come. 

He saw that every single one of the party had stopped moving, and everyone was looking straight at the beast that had decided to reveal itself finally. 

Some of them also looked at Jake, a smile plastered on their face. 

"You are quite the observant one, little child. You were right the whole time. This terrible beast was indeed tailing us." The swordsman who looked irritated back then nodded. 

"But I had to put on a show, and there was no way to do this with you knowing. So I had to make it look a little realistic, or the beast of Ti'An would have caught on." He said. 

Jake scanned the party, and saw not one look of surprise among everyone. It was like they knew exactly what was going on every step pf the way. 

Jake was the only one who was not a part of the loop.
