With a mixture of apprehension and determination, Raziel finally managed to cross the river, a feat made possible by the aid of Matron Selene.
He remembered her reluctance and concern, her eyes betraying a hint of unease at the mention of seeking aid from the Umbralfiends.
But he was surprised she let him go without much convincing.
However, despite her hesitation, Raziel's resolution remained unshaken; this was the only path left to take, the only glimmer of hope in a seemingly endless nightmare.
She also had to agree that he had to do this alone since if the werewolves were really keeping an eye on their place from the outside, then they couldn't risk moving together.
But a lone and weak Soul Eater's aura like his can be easily hidden with her help and sneak past the river.
After countless retries, Raziel came to know that the Bloodclaw Clan had already tracked and found their place at least a day ago!
