Wow, that was intense. The humans seem to be figuring these creatures out. They were able to pivot from werewolf hunting to vampire hunting in no time at all. And after Leo went through all that trouble with the poison! Well, you know what they say about best laid plans...
But the nagas showed up sooner than I was expecting. I had only just read your sly comment in response to my last quiry lol. But they seem to be a very literal species. I wonder what hijinks they'll have the gang going through. Hope Vela is able to get her hand back though, didn't realize it wouldn't be able to regrow.
Also, love the fact that you were going for two wolf word sounding puns for the name and just accidently came up with the name of a famous person without realizing it. That's perfect lol.

Yeah, that's going to be something Vela is going to have to keep in mind. Humans have changed a lot in her lifetime. Innovation doesn't respect its elders.
And I wanted to sort of make that point about the best laid plans. I wanted to showcase Leo's ability to dynamically improvise and be stealthy, but also demonstrate that everything can go wrong without good intel.
And yeah, I had a couple of places in mind that they could show up. That chapter took a lot of planning even though I think it ended up being pretty straight forward. There was just some tough decision making that went into it. In terms of consequences. The humans were going for blood. Vela lost a hand. They almost died. And then I crossed into slightly darker territory wirh how the humans were dealt with. Had to be sure it was all what I wanted to do.
And yeah... you're not the only person to notice that funny name accident either. I've considered taking it out, but... what's in a name?
I always look forward to your feedback! It's very involved in its specificity and responsiveness to our prior exchanges. Thanks for being here in the reviews!
