Asura stomped through the area, growling but making sure not to step on anybody.

Pluto looked around frantically. "You say there's fire but you don't show me where!" she yelled at no one in particular as she followed the general flow of panic. She finally made it outside to see an enormous rampaging lion. "What?! Asura!!" she yelled, seeing the aura surrounding the lion

One of the hunters ran in front of Asura, trying to stop him. "What do you want?" he shouted. "Why are you angry?"
"It's no use, Bernon," a man with an eye patch yelled. "Demons don't listen to reason. Shoot him!"
"He's not a demon," Bernon cried. "He's something else! Don't hurt him!"
But Eye patch had cursed and turned away, drawing his sword.

Pluto heard them shouting and whipped around. "Not a demon! Not from…not from dimension!" she yelled, waving her arms around. "I've got it!" She ran in front of Asura, jumping and flapping her wing a little to make herself more visible. "What's wrong?!"

He spotted Pluto and calmed slightly. "Somebody stole my staff!"

"Well calm down or people will shoot us!" she shouted

The hunters suddenly fell back, all looking at the cabin nearby. The red door had opened, and now Mike strode out, looking less than amused.
"Stand down," he barked at the hunters, and they lowered their guns. "Asura, what the heck is going on here?"

He leaned down so he was head level with Mike. His mane was a raging fire, and all of his eyes were narrowed. "Somebody here stole my staff. I need it back, now."

"Can't you get another stick?" Pluto asked. God, she hadn't even had her coffee yet

He turned to Pluto, shifting his wings. "That's not just some stick, it's the only Keeper's staff that I have in my realm. Not to mention it has my daughter in it."

Mike glanced around at the hunters. "Did any of you take his staff?"
They shook their heads in unison, meekly silent under Mike's hard stare.
"I don't know where it is," Mike said, "but I'm willing to help you find it. Could you tone down your appearance a bit? The demons in the pens are going crazy."

"Why couldn't this wait till after coffee?" Pluto complained, rubbing her eyes

He growled again. "If your child had been stolen and had no way to get out by themselves, I don't think you would wait for coffee to find them." He then glared at Mike. "And unfortunately, my emotions control my shapeshifting abilities. So no, I can't tone it down. At least not yet."

"Then let's step over here where they can't see you and we'll talk this out. When did you last see it?"

"Can't you…rajajaet?" Pluto asked, forgetting the English word for 'shrink'

"It was leaning against the wall, next to my bed. And what the hell does rajajaet mean?"
