Shouts and the sound of heavy steps echoed throughout the campsite.
Yuura squirmed in his fur bed, face twisted in pain, until Rion shook him awake.
"Yuura!" He yelled.
Yuura opened his hazy eyes and looked at Rion in a daze before mumbling in a low voice, "Hmm...? What are you doing... Rion?"
Rion clutched at his shoulders with a dark expression and said in a low, urgent voice, "The kareths... they are coming."
All of the sleep was drained out of Yuura, his eyes went wide, and he muttered with trembling lips, "W-What?"
Rion patted his shoulder before he said softly, "All of the squads and Haria are already getting ready to kill whatever steps out from that damned forest, and you have to report about the kareths' appearance to Marin."
Yuura sat up and asked with a reluctant expression, "Why me?!"
Rion looked into Yuura's amber eyes and said, "You are the fastest after me, after all."
After saying those words, Rion left the camp to stop the kareths with the others.
