Despite finding the big bird suspicious and hateful, Dark Wizard Reed no longer had the luxury to ponder its origin. This was his life-or-death gamble, and he couldn't afford to neglect it over a stubborn bird.
The Great Mentor and his companions had similar thoughts. They found the bird peculiar, but the widespread Dark Energy and its accompanying aura of death were more alarming. They were determined not to let this bird's stubbornness disrupt their plans. Even though the Great Mentor believed that Xiso would handle the situation adequately, he couldn't help but worry about unexpected mishaps. He was absolutely resolved to prevent the aura of death from permeating Guru Mountain. However, the current situation was anything but promising and hardly within his control.
