'Are you done...?' asked Will, holding the throat of a petite but voluptuous woman with pale, pink-tinted, translucent skin, mane-like hair comprised of eight pink-tipped tentacles, three-toed webbed feet, and a completely natural pattern that made it appear like she was wearing purple stockings when she was fully naked.
'Please...spare my life...' pleaded the woman, gripping Will's forearm with her five-fingered, dark-purple, white, and pink-webbed hands. Around her and Will, seven six-meter-long, predominately white, shark-like monsters with black undersides, two to three black-tipped horns, and black, flame-like patterns around their eyes swam agitatedly in a circle.
'If I were going to kill you, I'd have done so the moment my hand closed around your neck,' stated Will, shaking his head before asking, 'Instead, I have a question for you. Unless I'm mistaken, you're a Gastrahli. Why are you aiding Kataat's people?'
