"That area isn't any safer than the rest of the forest," the first Banshee disciple said.
"But that's only during the night," the second Banshee kid said, "and we have the blood of the ancient Krakens. You know they fear the blood of ancient beasts."
The other disciple nodded and waited for the main team to catch up.
"So you also got a way to defend yourselves there," Jim was surprised when he heard these words. "I have to get my hands on that blood."
He now realized how his enemies were much more prepared than his side. "They know each part of the forest, and also have many counters to the deadly risks lying in darkness at each corner... they have higher odds than us."
'That's not necessarily true,' the old man simply said, 'I bet older disciples already have the same amount of info as them.'
