The appearance of the Storm Vulture made everything clear to Orion.
The beast tide had been driven north by the Thunderhawk, and now Lord Gareth had sent the Storm Vulture to push the tide back south. It was a clever strategy, no doubt.
However, something about the situation still felt off to Orion.
Lord Gareth's response to the beast tide seemed delayed. By all accounts, she should have been prepared for the tide before it even began. This reverse driving of the beasts should have been initiated days earlier.
"Chieftain, it seems Lord Gareth has intervened," Prophet Onyx remarked.
Orion didn't respond immediately. Instead, he kept his gaze fixed on the Storm Vulture.
For a brief moment, Orion felt the Storm Vulture's eyes on him, as if it were studying him. But the beast made no aggressive moves and continued herding the beast tide southward.
After a long pause, Orion turned to Elder of Combat.
