Ramella Tarina
Fifteen minutes had passed while she tried to persuade the boy to move. She could see that he was afraid of something, but he could not explain what it was. She did find the situation disconcerting, as night was starting to fall.
From the corner of her eye she suddenly spotted movement. A large brownish-orangish cat was running along the street towards them. It ran past Ramella and Danny and continued, seeming to be running as far from the town as it could.
While she was looking away Daniel spotted a stray dog and went over to stroke it, but the dog as if feeling a sudden fear let out a loud yelp and bounded off towards the exit of the town. Above Ramella could hear several birds moving swiftly away from the tavern.
"Danny! Come here!"
There was a certain edgyness in Ramella's voice as she started realising that maybe there was nothing wrong with Daniel's fears. She knew that animals ran from evil instinctively, and the animals moving from the tavern did seem suspicious.
"What is it?"
Ramella did not answer, but stood nearly dumbfounded in the middle of the street. She had just felt the presence of a banewolf, although she did not know what it was.
