Going back three days, on the day they had left the village, the lion-like beast had come out of the Trial Forest looking worse for wear. It had its scorpion-like tail chopped off and one of its bat-like wings missing. It was tired and almost out of stamina. It had been about an hour since they had left and it knew they were close.
Looking at the empty village, it felt no danger going in a so unfamiliar place. Since it had lost so much in the battle, it was determined to find Sheyken as if it did not, its injuries were going to cripple its growth. Knowing that what Sheyken had taken would make it evolve, it had no fear of leaving the forest for the first time.
