Ysmir's Vision

"Grumble... will try." Grumble said, approaching the cage. He reached his hand out toward Ysmir, who tried to back away. The Patriarch used some art to move Ysmir into Grumble's hands, who began to attempt read its past.

However, after a few moments, Grumble lived up to his name, and grumbled.

"Grumble can not read food's past. Protected. Need more time and energy." Grumble said in his broken English, clearly frustrated. Ysmir instantly grew much less panicked, but was also a bit disappointed. If Grumble couldn't read its past, could anyone? Would Ysmir ever get answers to where it came from, or to the others before it?

What if Grumble could read past cycles?

That idea baffled Ysmir, and it quickly shared that with Devotion.

"Interesting thought, Ysmir, but if he couldn't read your past now, what makes you think he can go back that far, if at all?" Devotion responded, trying to keep Ysmir's expectations in check.
