Author's POV:
Outside the old cottage that was discovered in the woodlands of The Valley, Smoke Pac's gang were hiding behind the bushes. One of them was getting very impatient and couldn't keep herself still.
"What are we waiting for? Nothing is happening." Himeko's fingers were itching o unsheathe her sword and cut up a few monsters, but her bond to Smoke Pac bound her to his words.
"Stop moving about." Tom glanced at Himeko and told her to stay put. "Remember what the boss said. We are supposed to wait for his signal."
"Yeah, yeah. I know." Himeko shrugged then focused her attention back on the cottage. She couldn't see Smoke Pac. At the time, he was around the other side spying through the gap at the 3 Smokepires who were feeding strange substances into their captive via their tendrils.
"So that's how they do it." As he continued to watch the procedure, Smoke Pac was slowly understanding the mystery behind the reproduction of the Smokepires.
