The next day, Aurelian did not immediately order another large hunt.
That would have been easy, and easy decisions inside Mournveil usually became expensive later.
Instead, he had Eirenne and Lysara spend the early hours comparing the latest beast movement patterns with the half-broken probe data from the Ashring Drift.
If Auric Maw truly held a much larger beast habitat, then every species around Glasswake might only be a small part of a wider migration system.
The glass serpents, the shell-backed feeders, and the red-black tendril beasts might not be isolated groups at all.
They could be outer-ring species pushed away from richer feeding grounds.
That thought stayed with him.
If the strongest creatures remained inside Auric Maw, then Glasswake was a useful training area. If the stronger ones started moving outward, then Glasswake Watch could become the first thing in their path.
Eirenne seemed to reach the same conclusion.
