And he was right.
"How did...what happend to him!?!" she shouted at the Guide, who looked as scared as her, not as rushed though. He was scanning his memory for facts of these creatures and their effects on humans.
Then he remembered and looked slowly at Ed, and then at Stacy, "Well, Princess," he started,"It must be a full moon today, because this has never happend any other day...but wait..."
They looked up in the sky and started to see stars, but no moon.
The guild looked a bit nervous."I could've sworn that..."
George looked at the Guide, "Are you sure it's not a new moon?"
The Guide looked quickly over at George,"I'm sure, it wasn't a shadow creature, it was a lerker, an beast that looks like a shadow creature, but has the ability to possess its 'host' during the night until it has done his task, you see. He'll be fine come sun rise, but we only have 3 days to reach our destination or your friend Ed will be like this FOREVER."
Stacy burst into tears, the Guide was such a jerk to them, like the money they had paid him to escort him wasn't the reason why he was here, like there was another reason.
"You all are valnerable to these beasts, they've...or another has already heard your names."
They both looked at the Guide, "Are you trying to scare us?!" yelled George its bad enough she's in tears. She's kinda sensitive!"
As all this was going on the thing(Ed) was standing by Stacy's side listening in on every thing that was going on,he tried to frown the best he could with a monsterous beast-beak. He felt like it was him who had made this mess, not listening to the guide. He looked down at him body,a strange-shaped snakeish thing, just like to coils of smoke, in the same exact form. But he had arms, and,well, three fingers.He was hunched over a bit but at his normal heigth, a bit of fur on his head, that resembled hair. Not like that slick black hair from before. He couldn't think of anything to do.
"Let's go to that moon place, right now and get this over with!" said George that looked over at Ed who was looking quite unhappy where he stood, examining himself.¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
