Nika explained in detail what happened when she tailed the two hunters who ventured in the forest near the town and while Elara showed interest, she didn't seem concerned. At least until the part when Nika mentioned the strange behavior of deer. At that moment, Luna stormed Nika with questions about those creatures, but there was nothing more she could add.
"They can't possibly be cryptids." Elara said with confidence.
"I disagree. Although it's been mentioned in the lore that animals sometimes behave strangely when humans are not around and walking on their hind legs could be easily explained, it's impossible for herbivores to suddenly grow fangs." Luna said.
"That may be the case, dear, but it's impossible for cryptids to get anywhere near this town. There's several totems protecting this place and the barrier is holding strong." Elara insisted.
"I knew they were totems!" Uriel blurted out, then stormed Elara with questions she also couldn't answer.
