Changes Cemented

On the outside, he found traces of the battle, ground overturned, trees strewn on the ground everywhere, and traces of blood still present, even though the bodies had already disappeared.

Astaroth could see who had fought where based on the damage the ground held, with burnt patches or melted ground and lacerations in the surroundings. He could tell this had been a heated battle.

After close inspection, he found Genie and White's tracks and could easily deduce where they were going.

Behind their tracks were dozens of other sets of tracks of smaller-sized canines, and Astaroth wondered where they came from.

He hadn't seen the pack Genie and White came with and had no idea she was now leading her own pack. But it was irrelevant to him right now, so he brushed it off.

Looking toward the city, using the compass on his minimap, Astaroth tested out if he could still transform into his demon form or Geminae's form.
