"Whenever I see the mantis now... it's like there is an ominous feeling around it. It makes me want to leave it alone," Lucien spoke honestly, which made Theo nod but smile awkwardly.
"That is a very normal situation, Lucien," the baron spoke, getting his attention.
"Do you remember that mutt-like beast we fought in that gate?" he spoke, making Lucien frown at the very memory of it.
"... How could I forget that thing?" he spoke with utter disdain in his voice.
"That beast had the same kind of pressure around it. Only stronger and a lot more wild," the baron spoke while trying to think, as if it was kind of a distant memory for him.
"When a beast reaches a certain point in strength or gains an ability that can put pressure on weaker wills, it gives an output like this." The baron kept speaking while looking at the mantis near Theo. "It's usually when a beast is born with it, and with time, that pressure increases."
Lucien looked at the mantis again and then at Theo.
