As Ronan and his companion wandered along, they unwittingly found themselves on the banks of a murky, foul-smelling river via a trail of fresh blood.
The path led across the river, and in the waters on both sides, there were countless bizarre fish with rotting bodies and human organs still attached.
These strange fish gathered at the feet of Ronan and his companion, gnawing incessantly as if feeding on something, making chewing noises and burbling black bubbles.
Walking among the throngs of these weird fish, under their eager watch, even Ronan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Fortunately, they managed to walk the entire way smoothly, revealing that the treacherous blood trail was, in fact, the true safe passage.
It wasn't until they reached the opposite bank that Ronan remembered the purpose of their mission.
