Warning In Good Faith

"I assume everything went well Master?"

Mia commented seeing his unharmed figure fading into sight

"Somewhat"

Someone got wind of his presence so it wasn't all that good, hopefully it wasn't anyone from Hortus

"Should I wake Zero or let her have her fill of rest"

"Wake her when we get to the next nest, strength is needed if we meet another hardy beast like the last lizard"

Mia nodded in acknowledgment, knowing neither she nor her Master could do much with the hard skinned fellows

With that the group left the forest's vicinity, heading toward the west where another group of beasts took shelter, this place should be simple however as it was only a matter of numbers, something only Zero who awoke moments ago seemed worried about for some reason

Soon as they approached the nest they heard faint shouts and flapping sounds, alerting them of an unexpected third party

"Don't let them escape into the sky!"
