In a treacherous region riddled with ravines, about fifty kilometers from Rift Valley Slope.
Knight Armand and his two temporary companions.
Karon, the "Wall of Rock" from Ernst, and Leonard, the "Guardian Knight" of Vilt West, were hiding deep within a narrow crevice, a fissure barely wide enough for a person to squeeze through sideways.
All three were heavily wounded. Knight Armand's Dark Silver Armor was riddled with deep claw marks and signs of corrosion. The edge of Karon's Tower Shield was shattered, and Leonard's Plate Armor had been eaten through by acid, revealing the festering flesh beneath.
They had temporarily escaped the beast tide and found a defensible position. After taking the potions they carried, they prepared to rest before continuing their exploration.
However, they hadn't rested for long before the tranquility was shattered once more.
