That was worrying enough in and of itself, but being out here in the wide, remote desert region of Libendorf made it infinitely worse. The area had some very large predators that even a Fire Mage like myself would have a hard time handling. I had my shields fully up; a dome of fire licking on the outer edge to prevent attack, even though doing so made me roast from the heat. Libendorf’s weather rather resembled an oven even on the best of days and here I was making it worse by surrounding myself with fire. But I didn’t dare drop my shields. Whatever was stalking me was large. Very large. As a Fire Mage, I’m more sensitive to heat than anything else, so the bigger a mammal is, the easier it is for me to sense it. This thing produced a great deal of heat. More than a dragoo, even, and that was saying something. Actually, if it had been a dragoo, I would have been beyond happy. The whole reason why I’d come out here to Libendorf in the first place was to get a dragoo familiar of my own.
