Day 2

After Lia had her bath, deflated the tent, and packed it up in the bag, Lucius just got off the rock and began going west. She had expected Lucius would walk up to her and apologize for what happened by now, but Lucius didn't even pay attention to her.

He just walked forward while he followed behind while carrying the bag along. As they walked through the forest, Lia wondered what was going through Lucius's mind.

She wondered if he felt too guilty to apologize, or if there was any other reason for his cold behavior. She could remember the razor-sharp teeth she saw last night, however, and it reminded her of Black Death.

'It can't be…' Lia pushed the thought aside.

Black Death has a long row of razor-sharp teeth, stretching all the way to his ears. The Lucius she saw last night was no different from the Lucius she knew, and the only difference was the murderous look in his eyes and his razor-sharp teeth.
