The full moon's ethereal brightness enveloped the forest, leaving its surface in lengthy shadows. Aizel skulked through the shadows, scanning for any indication of the deadly Dire Bjorns, but thus far he had found none.
"I think I should wait now for the old man to arrive; it seems either they are scared or they have run away somewhere," he thought.
"So much for an artifact," he sighed.
"I wonder how Alora is doing alone; I bet she is still watching K-dramas. And what about Dr. Shelly? Did she come back after her visit to her mother?"
Aizel stopped mid-track and took a moment to scan the area as the ground underneath him started to tremble.
It wasn't a constant vibration but rather a periodic trembling that occurred every few seconds.
"Are they finally here?"
Aizel stayed vigilant, keeping a close watch for any activity.
