Kaizen glanced forward as he felt the pulse of the Watcher's blink and saw a smile appear on the decrepit man's face. It was as if he had foreseen everything that had just happened.

"You are good, the only ones who had the courage to come to this place.... I knew that one day people like you would come to free me," the man said in a low, hoarse voice.

Korgrak, who was standing next to Kaizen, did not seem to have heard. She was worried and looked around, noticing the movements of the guards, who were now all blinking in unison in some kind of pattern.

"What's going on?" she asked aloud, since the guards were not attacking directly.

Meanwhile, the mysterious man continued to mutter. "But you are not the only brave ones. There are other larger pieces in this maze, looking for the same thing as you."

Kaizen, who was in the vanguard, looked at him in confusion. What is this guy talking about? Is this supposed to make sense?
