While Ethan was making his way out of the shelter on the back of a truck driven by the men from the Crimson Eclipse Order who kidnapped Ava, the shelter itself was in the middle of some serious trouble.
First up, the monster they were fighting was really weird—it was nothing like what they'd ever seen or fought before.
The beast seemed to have this never-ending life force that made it super tough to take down. It was like every part of its body had its own life.
In the beginning, the folks at the shelter thought they had it easy. They were taking it down just like any other monster—cutting into its chest, splitting it in half, shooting arrows at it, setting it on fire, hitting it with lightning bolts, and every other way they knew how to kill a beast. They even started to think this beast was weak and no big deal.
