Glossary of Aeon
Following the winged serpent really paid off.
As soon as it left the shadow's lair, I chased after it, staying cloaked and at a distance, while gauging my surroundings for an opportunity to make a kill.
My original target was the newly created Abyssal monster, that in its current starved state, was at its weakest point. But I quickly lost it in the crowd of Abyssal monsters swarming below.
Now I'd stumbled upon an incredibly familiar scene of utter carnage. Multitudes of monsters jostled over the severed remains of a creature, while others fought another monster nearby that was still alive.
This monster that had the misfortune of entering the valley today was fighting all alone, desperate to retain its life. It just so happened that the winged serpent noticed this scene and swooped to meet up with the others of its kind.
