Something was indeed helping them.
Naturally, they didn't suspect it could be one of Nox's beasts. After all, he was away—a fact known by everyone in the barony—and he went everywhere with his beast companions. Clearly, whatever this thing was, it was on their side. It was both good and terrifying at the same time.
Good because this mysterious entity was helping them.
Terrifying because they didn't know anything about this entity. What were its intentions and goals? It was a mystery, as Celine thought. The unknown was the most frightening existence.
