Entry in A Traveler's Log of Dangerous Beasts
Tricky to find and trickier to tame, as they are fiercely independent. Resembling large black wolves, they can grow as much as ten feet long and six feet tall. They can turn entirely into wind, like a rush of smoke billowing past, and their Lore can conjure storms and wind gusts. Absolutely magnificent! Also highly dangerous.
Passage
“I’m going to be a great Guardian one day,” Barclay whispered to Root. The words were too bold to speak very loud. He didn’t want to jinx them.
Root didn’t seem worried about jinxes, though. He barked in agreement.
