Midnight Along the Vast Fields

Ye'tab looked at the tiny creature in front of him that took out three armed Dryadalis like it was nothing. This was nothing like how the pet species were described when he first heard of them. In fact, if she didn't bear a slight resemblance to Pippa Flynn, he would never have thought that she was… human to begin with.

Well, that and the fact that she was obviously nesting right now. How the Njeriuujk couldn't smell it was utterly incomprehensible to him. He could smell it across the table, and it was experiencing more than a few changes as a result of it.

He could still feel the blood pumping in both his hearts, causing his muscles to double in size, and his hearing and vision to become better than ever before. Hell, even the Njeriuujk underwent a physical transformation when the pet was in danger.
