Exiting the mountain crevice, Lucius descended the mountain in a smooth manner. Making it to the bottom he gazed at the empty scene in front of him.
'Almost all of the Fjord Beasts are gone! How is this possible?!'
Seeing the hoof-prints of the Fjord Beasts leaving their marked territory, he immediately understood that the plan to draw the beasts had gone horribly wrong.
'The beasts would never leave their territory, unless....!' with his experience, Lucius immediately understood what had happened.
Due to the unhindered growth of the Fjord Beasts, coupled with the favorable environment present on this planet, a rare case of evolution had occurred. An evolution that might have possibly resulted in the birth of a Stage 2 Beast.
'Stage 2...Even I would have a difficult time fighting against such a being.'
He then recalled Olivia's condition at the time of his leaving.
