The crunch of leaves caused many to turn their heads.
General Pennel was the first to react, and when he suddenly saw that it was Theron, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
The Tribulation had ended long ago, but no one would be foolish enough to just approach a location a Runebound Mana Beast could have been born from. As such, they were still watching from a distance, waiting to see if something would change when Theron suddenly appeared.
"Sorry, everyone," Theron said with a light smile. "I hope no one was worried about me."
The silence was deafening.
Theron just rode in on the back of the Alpha, a light smile on his face as though he didn't realize that his appearance here made little to no sense at all.
General Pennel's surprise slowly turned cold. He looked at Theron, and then down to the Alpha he rode.
