The Empress was a bit confused by Gravis' bow. She wanted to say that he was acting weird again, but after remembering that Gravis technically didn't count as a beast, she decided not to comment on his behavior. Instead, she acted like he had not said anything and simply continued with her agenda.
"Empress, Grand Elder," a new arrival said as he appeared before the Empress in a bow. Gravis had barely been able to see this new beast arriving, but at least, he managed to notice it this time.
This was an Elder, an Emperor. For the first time, Gravis was able to follow the movements of an Emperor. He was closing in on their power.
"This is the one," the Empress said as she gestured to Gravis, "proceed as ordered."
"Yes, Empress," the new arrival said.
This new beast was a red wolf. Obviously, he had an affinity towards the fire element. Right now, he was only two meters tall, but his true size was way bigger.
