"Where exactly did that sound come from?" Leon muttered, glancing around.
The forest was vast, and the sound had vanished completely, leaving him disoriented.
"Try tracking it with your Eye of Chaos, Master," Miranda whispered.
Leon gave a slight nod and began scanning an area of about four hundred meters. But even then, he found nothing. Only when he extended his range to five hundred meters did he spot a body lying between five trees.
"A girl?" he murmured in surprise.
At first, he had assumed the voice belonged to a man—but he was wrong.
Suddenly, he noticed movement near the girl's right side. In an instant, a bear emerged from behind a bush, staring at her with a hungry gaze.
"We can't just leave her! It's going to eat her!" Leon exclaimed in alarm.
*Boom!*
Chaos power erupted from his body, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from where he stood.

"Don't touch her, damn it!"
