84 Mission for Ascendance: The Shri'kilian (1)

"Oh, I zoned out. What were you saying?" Lucius replied.

"Forget everything I said towards the end. I don't really care about all of that stuff," Asclepius said, though the act wasn't fooling anyone.

"I'd recommend going in the early morning. That's when most of the creatures of the Dark Forest go to sleep. And whatever you do, avoid the 'furry-folk'," Asclepius warned.

Even the 'owners' of the green forest fall victim to them. And this is no legend. I have seen an owner lying dead in the Dark Forest with my own eyes,"

~So they're the higher tier beings of the Dark Forest, huh? Probably intelligent,~ Lucius thought to himself. He was definitely going to try his best to avoid them, though it would've been nice if he had been given hints as to what to look out for.
