Ru shot up into the sky, and the others scrambled into the air after her. Jayson just barely managed to hang onto serenity by picturing himself safe and asleep in his room.
Colleen screamed, some twenty feet below the rest of them. “Whoa!” Randy shouted.
A soundless explosion fanned out beneath them, bending the trees down. The icy wind from the shockwave made Jayson want to curl into a ball, but he couldn’t take his eyes away.
“Skaeya,” it rasped.
Jayson cringed, but the voice didn’t shred his ears this time. His pendant thrummed and that was all. Now that he was transformed, these things seemed to radiate a sharp, very distinct, cold emptiness. It was overwhelming, repulsive, and strangely motivating. Vividly, he remembered the first time he’d seen creatures like this, hovering in his own kitchen, but somehow, they were clearer and easier to see here. He glanced over at Ru and found her eyeing him meaningfully.
“Yeah, what?” Randy said.
A moment later, the Skaeya stood ready to face it.
Only now there were ten.
“It’s like all the marshmallows I’ve ever eaten have come back to haunt me,” Randy squeaked.
The red one in the middle had a long pair of tails that twitched eagerly, a snake coiled to spring.
