Caspe rolled onto her back and cackled up at Trebor, flickering with her own fiery light. (Well done,) she whispered, and suddenly rose and scampered off to one side. (He approaches.)
Everyone looked startled, none more than Trebor (who had called into the land of the dead unintentionally), but they had no time to react. The air around them turned cool, then chilly, then downright cold, and Kalea's breath swirled visibly from her mouth. She grabbed Dante's arm and pulled him close, beneath the shelter of Thuronil's wing as they all waited with trepidation.
At the base of the statue there appeared a light. In contrast to the harsh jittery flames of the kitsune, this light was soft and blue as the sky. As the little group watched the light grew, and gradually took on a shape - a Silent Paw, every inch as large as Trebor, unfolding long dark limbs, and from the ethereal light there opened a pair of silver eyes.
The unicorn was the first to react - he bowed, touching his horn to the stone, and the spirit-Paw looked at him impassively. :Rise,: he said in a voice that sounded faraway. As the unicorn stood again Kalea saw in her mind this Paw standing on a hilltop with a jewel around his neck as multitudes of creatures fell to their knees before him. He had blue fur, but this was something more - he had been a king.
The kitsune giggled as though unable to help it. (O dark-eye winterlord, how lovely to see you where you feet cannot touch my stone!)
The Paw looked at her. :Stone-with-sharp-teeth,: he greeted her, but his ears were tilted back in annoyance. :Leave me be - my business is not with you.: He looked directly at Trebor and took a step closer, shining with a ghostly light. :Well,: he said, :Now that you've excited the dancing mad kitsune and disturbed my rest, what do you want?:
