After another week passed, preparations were finally complete. During most of this time, Canna had been outside the sanctuary, flying alongside Noctis, constantly scouting the nearby areas. They had faced a relentless barrage of monster attacks, but Canna's mission was simple. He wanted to see if any of the monsters would be able to hold a conversation—perhaps he could find a way to forge alliances or at least understand their motivations. Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, none of the creatures spared him even a moment to talk. Each encounter resulted in a bloody fight, with the monsters' only intent being to kill. Despite the setbacks, Canna pressed on, while his troops within the sanctuary continued to prepare for the upcoming mission.
