Rael stood at the edge of the first boundary ward sigil, gazing into the tree lines with a hardened expression, with Iyvre and Ayobe standing by his side.
'It's silent now' Rael thought to himself. The entire woods had returned to that ominous silence. He tightened his grip on the sword as he suddenly squinted at a silhouette that slowly appeared within the shadows of the trees.
"Is that a worg?" Rael murmured. The silhouette slowly revealed itself, maintaining the wolf-like shape of an aether worg. However, upon a closer look as the red moon's light leaked through the canopy a grotesque creature with a split maw jagged with razor-sharp teeth and an abnormally huge front paw was revealed. It stared at Rael from afar with a bloated eye, covered in jagged bones and black goo that slowly dripped onto the forest floor.
"Ugh, that's one ugly fella," Rael recoiled, wrinkling his nose in utter disgust. "But on the bright side, it's just one," he added with a smile.
