Ba'al wasn't one to miss an opportunity when dangling so willingly on a string in front of him. The wolf had turned his back and the King of Hell's lumbering steps jabbed his then hubcap sized clawed hand out and snapped up the wolf by the scruff of the neck like he were little more than a collie pup. He saw what he was trying to convey to the sphinx too.
It took a few moments for Taj to figure out what the wolf-formed Casper was telling him, not because the signals weren't clear, but every breath caught in his lungs, oxygen depleted, his head starting to feel swollen, like his brain could just pop, his chest so heavy. Not to mention all of the wolf's pushing and tugging him around only added to it, his hip still searing with pain with each movement. But, he had nodded to the wolf and was trying to do just that. His body was slowing him down. He couldn't seem to gain the momentous energy the take off, feeling so sluggish.
During all of this the Judge crept up from the earth and Ba'al paused to watch, a wicked smirk always befell his features when he came to his command. There was no smirk today on his insectisoid expressionless face. But, he knew Zadok was annoyed. All the better. More chaos released. Ba'al just loved that. With the locusts still swarming he shook the wolf's body in the sphinx's direction to point Zadok in the right direction. "Don't let him leave. I want him too." Taj had just pulled himself up on a big boulder making it to his feet, eyes shot wide as he heard those words behind him, wider eyes slung Casper's way, and the widest eyes yet grew in horror as he saw what Hell's beastial creature was being directed at him.
Also during this time, all the commotion and loud noise did ignite a snowball effect into action causing campers and rangers to start coming in at them from all sides, a couple dozen at least, some armed, some not. Ba'al could hear them even the one's still far distances away approaching. "Leave no witnesses!" That was his second order and the real reason he called Zadok in the first place. He was using his true form on Earth and witness were something undesired indeed.
Taj slammed his hands down on the boulder and pushed with all the might he left in abused body to catapult himself in the air, just taking flight but unable to not let himself look back at Casper before he got very high at all, worried about his lover.
