her. However, Utor is also found unconscious and his bear costume
is missing. The assailant is disguised as Utor.

Illyan and Thorn rush over. They disturb Mab and Úsaan
from an intimate moment. While they are distracted, Úsaan
is abducted.

and save Úsaan. The attacker is a strange alien creature
that dissolves when killed. It was wearing resin armour.

night alive!
