No Right Answer
It was a puzzle with missing and damaged pieces, without any right answer.
'I could run past them all, distract them so the rest of the barbarians can move through but...' he looked towards the bird monster and the sleeping humanoid monster. Something told him that even if he managed to avoid all the others, those two would definitely catch him.
And it was not like they could just walk through...
'Wait a second, why are they not attacking each other?'
Other than the four of the five Ether beasts that took one corner each and the last bird beast took the entire ceiling for itself, there were tens of thousands of other smaller beasts here.
Most of them were very different from one another so there was no way they would just get along with each other like this.
'Are they...being controlled?'
That was the only logical explanation. But then why were the Ether beasts keeping them under control?
