As he advanced toward the Sanctum, Darien tried to predict what awaited him there.
What business did Vincent Velgrane, heir to the most powerful house in Eldermead, have with him? By the way, dead or alive?
Coming upon an area swallowed by fog with the Sanctum in the distance, Darien was ambushed by a creature that leapt out of nowhere.
He then realized it was a deadly lake instead, the black waters unseen beneath the blanket of mist.

(HP: 1289)
(Rank 2 Stray!)
The boy narrowed his eyes as the beast lurched its massive size out of the fog, its sludgily slick body glistening.
The black water peeled away from the grotesque creature as it growled, releasing its multi-tongue.
Darien had evaded one tongue in the ambush. Seeing this many now, he was surprised.
But he didn't let the Griefbinder's appearance shock him for too long as he floated backward when another tongue writhed out toward him.

SPLASH!
