"Light Bringer," the Ancestral Mage repeated, "the Dawn Seedling has ordered me to kill these two people since they have dared to come close to the Dawn Seedling's training area."

"Light Bringer, my original plan was to follow these two until they left the Eternal Maw's territory. After sufficient distance was put between the Eternal Maw and us, I would have attacked."
Shang took a deep breath.
