Absorbing the shreds of information the boy offered, Artemis pinched her eyebrows together. What he was describing wasn't like any pirates she'd ever heard of. Then again… giant wolves and ticking trees. Her eyes darted between the girl, the irritated-looking wolf, and the boy. She opened her mouth to respond – in her own language again – while still keeping her distance, when the action erupted behind him. Artemis stumbled back as a tree seemingly woke up, grabbing the boy. A moving tree. A moving [i]carnivorous[/i] tree. Artemis wasted no time turning and running away.
