Darn, with Celsinge buffeted from the Echoise's tail, it's going to be a bit harder to keep it as scared as it was before. We still have the advantage, however. If we can keep drilling them with repeated scratches, we could pull this off.

"Don't let up, Celsinge. Keep scratching at the Echoise, you can do this!" I shouted, full of determination. The battle had gotten me riled up and full of energy, something that is normally impossible for me to do. Celsinge and I are doing good though. Despite not being able to speak to me, I feel a connection with him that I haven't felt with anyone else really. He is a being that I can depend on, and truly befriend.
