The lord of thornes

After his encounter with the shadow demons, Xylon's focus shifted from returning to Kazarich to exploring the borders of Havag from the outside. 

He couldn't shake off the feeling that the resistance he had encountered at the checkpoint must have a presence nearby, or perhaps Eva had sought refuge with them.

In his wanderings, Xylon toyed with the idea of kidnapping a healer to exploit their abilities for his own benefit.

  However, he quickly dismissed the thought, realizing that such an action would require him to traverse through Kazarich, which would be a perilous journey for anyone who wasn't a Sinclair. 

The dangers that awaited in Kazarich were not something he wanted to face with his current physical injuries.

Xylon couldn't help but notice a disturbing pattern with his injuries. Each time he faced a nightmare, the wounds he sustained seemed to intensify in their severity.
