Beast God Ridge.
This was the highest peak on the Beastman Continent. From a distance, it seemed to touch the sky. Legend had it that when the Beastman Continent first came into being, Beast God Ridge was the first land to appear, and that Lord Beast God himself was born on this very summit, watching over the beastmen ever since.
A torrential downpour, rare for the Beastman Continent, was raging. Gareth stood at the edge of the cliff, hands clasped behind his back as he gazed up at the heavens. The raindrops were repelled before they could even touch him, making him seem nothing like a typical insectoid, who would be unable to fly the moment their wings got wet.
Hecate stood a short distance away, one hand holding a woven umbrella, the other wrapped around Fiona.
The little girl's pretty face was ashen, her grayish-brown eyes filled with terror as she stared at Gareth.
