From just behind the group, Ari hoped fervently that she would avoid being noticed by these beasts altogether. She was lucky that way once in awhile, and a girl could hope. Aspel and Jareth had rushed in, and the Ranger was guarding for what they might allow to pass, and Merri --
Actually, that gave her an idea. Her very large friend might have been the reason she'd learned the song initially, but there was no reason why she couldn't use it with someone else. "Merri, go back to Fire!" she called out. Then she once again began to sing, the threnody this time, targeting the very large wolf that the mage had been casting at moments ago. A red glow rose around it, and she moved on to the next. She was less than halfway through the song for the second wolf, however, before it bounded towards her, raising its head and giving a howl so unexpectedly loud and forceful that it nearly knocked her off her feet and definitely broke her concentration.
