"Blola returned an Empyrean Tusk, just like you. Do you know what that means?" Virala growled.
"You orphaned bastard!"
Resha was already aware of it the moment the Spy Bone detector showed Blola's location. The fact that Blola returned to the Clan meant he had succeeded in obtaining what he had set out to do—gain an Empyrean Tusk's power.
His parents were supposed to bring a baby Empyrean Tusk at this time. Judging by the conversation he heard between Bora Tusk and Raaha—Chief of the larger Empyrean Tusk herd's Mammoth Clan, and also Chief after the merger—before, it seemed the baby Empyrean Tusk was stolen from the larger herd.
His parents were the thieves.
Raaha said they were killed by the Boar King, including the baby Empyrean Tusk. That was why his herd had raged. And when they heard another baby—baby Gannala—Empyrean Tusk's cries, they charged in the respective direction and arrived here.
