Cain had pushed himself relentlessly, flying for nearly two weeks without rest after leaving the Hellgaping Belt. He raced through the Helix Continent mainland in his full dragon form so he could use his stomach to consume all the people he had devoured.
Of course, such a massive body would draw unwanted gazes, but Cain used the Pyramid of Shadows to enter the Shadow Realm and travel undetected, constantly aware that Aurelius Arken might go to any extreme to catch him and might be chasing him at this very moment. There was no way that Cain could know the Patriarch of House Arken did not dare to leave the South Coast without first learning more about him.
Determined to put as much distance between himself and the South Coast as possible, Cain didn't allow himself a moment's peace, his massive dragon wings flapping with the power to create storms.
