...was what it had said. After reading that it was impossible for Ed to continue at his same leisurely pace, he rushed towards Blurak's cavern. The message had likely appeared due to both of them becoming close enough for the system to spot W and there was no other point of interest nearby. Thus this was his best bet.

But… Why was he not dead? Why did the humans let him go? It made no sense. So Ed was curious, nearly as much as he was worried.

To the point where not even the darkness of the tree's thick foliage could not conceal his hurried movements.
