Nyx's face fell when he refused to follow her, which turned to concern when she saw him shaking. "You're really not okay," she said softly, "I think you should sit down..."
She started to move towards him when she heard him say, "help," but stopped as he continued, "please help me, Valrhios"
"Who-" Nyx started to ask, but suddenly a giant, snarling wolf burst out of a nearby hedge. It's eyes had a dangerous glint to them, and it look like...it was defending the boy!
Nyx flinched.
Her hands went up as she covered part of her face, and suddenly a sizeable gust of wind howled through the maze, but didn't touch anything in the garden. The colour drained from her face as she stepped back towards the entrance of the maze. "N-nice, wolf," she squeaked. "good, wolf. Please don't hurt me."
She took another step back. "Please, please don't hurt me." She said again. "I was only trying to help. I didn't mean any harm." Nyx's eyes were wide and her pupil's dilated in fear. She could feel the adrenaline coursing through her veins, her hands visibly shaking from it.
Suddenly Kirru appeared. He had a self-satisfied look in his eyes, as if to say, be proud of me. I pissed her off, and did a good job at it too. When he noticed the wolf, the look disappeared. Hovering in front of Nyx, Kirru let out a strange, defensive hissing noise. A sound Nyx had never heard come from the tiny bird before.
Nyx closed her eyes. "Stupid bird," she said in a resigned tone, and waited for fate.
