You stay, frozen by his voice, yet still not afraid of the predator in front of you. The sound of thunder rings out and he yelps, falling to the ground. All is silent, even the wind.

One nods to you, as if he is some kind of savior, but you ponder to yourself, questioning: which creature really needs a savior?…
