Later that evening, Vicente, Bert and Garin arrived in front of an area where the sound of running water was loud.
At a distance of hundreds of meters, a cluster of bare black stones partially obstructed the view of an area with less vegetation. Standing watch in that direction were three creatures with striking golden fur, diligently keeping an eye out.
The three lions, however, didn't look as striking as Rex had been earlier. Standing where they were, the three had their mouths slightly open, their eyes wide in a way that made them look rather funny.
Vicente and the two magicians next to him understood the situation. As Rex walked forward, the three creatures immediately recognized his situation in relation to Vice.
