The Monitor Beastmen exchanged glances, then one said gruffly, "Lana is the most outstanding Beast-mother in the Grymdale Tribe. How could we let her escape? Of course we took her back to our tribe!"
Evangeline frowned. "Then who escaped?"
"We only know of Thorne, Elias Moretti, the Grymdale Tribe's Witch, and one other female!"
'So the powerful ones all escaped. As for the other female, that must be Saskia.'
As Evangeline pondered this, she heard the Monitor Beastmen ask cautiously, "Female, we've told you everything we know. Can you let us go now?"
At their words, Evangeline lifted her gaze and swept it over the group.
The look in her eyes made the beastmen's hair stand on end.
When she emerged from Thorne's cave, the sky was already showing the pale light of dawn.
