While the news weren't all that good, it was still a bit comforting knowing their group had enough knowledge about the creatures to know how to at least avoid a bigger conflict with them. As he said, the best approach was to not find themselves in a position where they would need to use a bright flash of light to escape. Truly those were troublesome creatures. Acting in any way that would make them swarm would be a fatal mistake. [color=6ecff6]"Even if it was something that happened only once... I can't even imagine the despair these people must have felt in their last moments... I can only hope my brief but sincere prayers will be able to bring some peace to their spirits."[/color] Miwa said with a sad, solemn expression as she heard Elc's words. [color=6ecff6]"Even if these creatures aren't intelligent, something must have triggered them to act in such a way. Similar to how locusts to swarm and go into a feeding frenzy... Perhaps it was the same thing that caused the town's disappearance? The few who escaped were caught by a different type of disaster..."[/color] Miwa theorized. [color=6ecff6]"Regarding their senses, if Verdant's theory proves true, then having just enough light to illuminate our path seems to be the key to remaining 'invisible' to their eyes and avoiding bumping into them. Too much or too little and we're definitely getting caught."[/color] Miwa said, thinking. Stopping in a bifurcation of the path they were walking, Jazdia mentioned once again the treasure she had detected earlier. While her priority was definitely keeping the group safe, especially after being hired, sending a bit of that treasure back to the temple would be quite nice as well... [color=6ecff6]"I see no problems in making a small detour, should you guys want to check the treasure."[/color] Miwa said, looking at the group, especially after hearing Fia's willingness to go.
