"Dommie, we have to go - we have to - do you know what that was?!" Panic crackled in her voice.
"Of course I know - what that was -" he wheezed. "I have to find - Linao -" His rough breathing inserted pauses in his sentences.
"You have to WHAT?! Dommie, didn't you hear them? Didn't you see that thing? He'll rip her to shreds, just by himself, and there were two of them, and then there was that quiet guy, and Dommie you're gonna get hurt if you do anything..."
"Yes, I heard them! They said they were going to hurt Linao. I have to find her and warn her before --" The wind spirit turned abruptly. "Mag ..What's wrong?" He turned to follow her gaze. "Magdalena? What is it?"

"Oh, shit..."
"D-Dommie..."
"Run."
"B-but --"
"RUN!"
