Drake and his cohort followed the green thread the short distance in the clearing to where it stopped. It took them to what looked like a beast's lair. It was a large dirt hole in the ground that they were barely able to fit inside. Ruby was too large to fit through it at all. So was Renn, who transformed into her rat form and headed a few feet into the dark depths of the tunnel, then waited for Drake and the rest of the cohort to follow.
"Are you able to transform into something smaller?" Drake asked his scorpion beast. He didn't want to assume that she could, when she couldn't, or vice versa. He knew that Renn was able to, but only because she had visited the ordinary world.
