A weird situation (2)

A stare-off ensued between the two species. However, the Lomalins were already restless because of Erik's attack, which they blamed on the Leylarhads, and for this reason, increasing the hostility between the two races.

However, the insect-like thaids were very agitated since they knew that with 1600 fewer individuals, their entire colony was facing a huge risk against the wolves.

Erik couldn't get out of his hiding spot yet, lest being seen by the Leylarhads. He could escape the Lomalins but not the wolves. So, he stayed there, hiding.

Erik wasn't far off from the truth. However, there was something he wasn't aware of: on the other side of the clearing, opposite the Leylarhads' position, a different beast was approaching the group of Lomalins. It was most likely drawn to the smell of blood that was coming from within the group.
