Haa-… Ha-…

David ran through the forest as fast as he could. He did not know what just happened, but he suddenly fell asleep when he was watching Shin play with the guardian beasts.

It was the same for Berret, who was supposedly watching over them the entire time.

The two of them ran to the best of their abilities as they heard a loud cry coming from the deeper parts of the forest.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

They could not help but halt their tracks when they arrived at their destination. What they saw was a gruesome scene where the entire place was dyed red with blood while the flesh, innards, and different parts of a monster's body were scattered everywhere.

In the middle of all of this was a little toddler drenched in blood while holding the arm of an unknown monster that they had never seen before.
