Soul Syphoning Beetles

Xi Son's current look wasn't something to envy, he no longer had that haughty presence, and was more of a meek and docile kitten instead of the confident lion presence he gave earlier. Whatever he faced didn't seem so intent on keeping Xi Son's mental integrity in mind, that and probably the taste of his flesh. He had a few bite wounds on his arms that had yet to heal as a few cuts on his robes.

He had fought on the last leg, and somehow managed to escape unharmed, though I'll never be able to defeat the horde of the Soul Syphoning Beetles he fought, I have more than enough confidence to escape unnoticed or at least without them ever thinking to follow after me.

I followed after Xi Son for a few minutes until we left the mountain range and into a wide-open green field. Xi Son stopped and pointed forward at a forlorn tree that stood all alone in the vast field.
