A year ago, Sylphalan was here, and he fought with Palosa.

A year ago, Palosa sealed himself away as he fell into his demonic tendencies.

Garen suddenly understood the correlation.

The reason why Sylphalan showed up coincidentally in Galantia and Eliza Province, was because he was motivated by some other objective. Perhaps that objective was to seek Palosa out for battle.

Since the White Bird now said that the both of them sustained heavy injuries from the fight, that means Sylphalan should still be recovering from his injuries, unless he has some sort of special recovery method.

Whereas for Palosa, his injuries were mostly mental, especially since he would later fall into his demonic form. Sylphalan must have sustained some bad injuries as well.

On the way out from the big waterfall, Garen kept thinking of that possibility.

As the four of them walked back, nobody spoke.
