As Harley, Harith, Nana and Barats probed around the Abyss, Balmond was lumbering down the corridor to receive them, as per Alice's instructions. He looked around, seeking the four young heroes. Just then, a flash of orange caught his eye.
Meanwhile, the ones Balmond was seeking were journeying down a corridor. Suddenly, Rahal turned, sniffing at a dark corridor.
"What is it?" Barats asked the dinosaur, seeming concerned. Rahal pawed the ground impatiently, snorting. Harley, leading the group, whirled around to glare at them.
"Be quiet!" he hissed. "What does your dinosaur want anyway?"
Barats shrugged and replied softly, "Rahal is an Abyssal Dinosaur. Perhaps he smells something familiar here." Again, Rahal grunted.
Harith glanced between Harley and Barats. "Maybe it would be a good idea to follow him. You got Rahal here, right, Barats? I'm sure he would not lead you into danger." the Leonin asked. Nana nodded, agreeing. Barats looked thoughtful, and bobbed his head up and down as well.
Harley sighed, "Alright. I only hope this will work out. We are not going back without Lylia today!" Determined, he looked at Barats, and continued, "Let's follow the dinosaur."
Immediately, Rahal began to sprint down the corridor. "Wait up, big guy!" Nana called out, panting as she tried to catch up. Harith slowed down a little, but Harley and Barats kept on racing ahead.
Noticing that the Mage Genius was chasing the dinosaur, Alice smirked. "Run now! To me, Orc," she commanded through the earpiece she was wearing. She heard Balmond grunt in acknowledgement, and then the sound of thudding footsteps. Alice laughed. Harley had absolutely no idea he was running- quite literally- into a trap.
