Kyrin ran after Fenrir down the path. She'd only heard a few mentions of Thunder Lions here and there, but even she'd heard enough to know that this was not a good situation. Skidding into the clearing, she realized that all the descriptions in the world couldn't do the beast justice. It was truly terrifying, but she didn't have time to be scared. "Of course I can," she said in answer to his question about casting an illusion on the children. "But it will take time to get them out of there." Not that casting an illusion really took much time, but illusions were meant to be cast on stationary things. Any fast movement would at best cause distortions in the illusion. Most likely, it would cause gaps in the illusion or allow glimpses through it. Either of those scenarios would get the lion's attention back on the children, and they couldn't let that happen. The children would have to walk away, not run, and that would take some time.<br/><br/>Still, it was the best option they had, so she took her opportunity to cast the illusion when the lion turned to face Fenrir. She didn't know enough about the creatures to know what they would and wouldn't attack, so she went with the one safe bet that she knew would prevent the lion from wanting to attack them. She made them disappear completely, although the illusion was visible only to the lion. After all, she and Fenrir would have a hard time helping the children if they couldn't see them. She turned to look at the children to gesture for them to head out of harms way, but one look at them cowering by the rock was enough to make her realize they wouldn't walk out on their own. They were too scared. If they did leave the shelter of the rock it would be at a run, and she couldn't let that happen.<br/><br/>She took a deep breath, knowing there was only one way to get the children out of there safely. "I need you to distract it," she said quietly, not wanting to draw the animal's attention. "I have them glamoured so the lion can't see them, but if they run the illusion won't work properly, and it will attack them. I need to cast the same illusion on myself so I can go get them and walk them out of here to make sure they don't make a fatal mistake."
