The flaming sword illuminated the dark house. Inside, there were countless small iron cages.
Siderus hurled the flaming sword toward the cages. Inside were small animals. Some were dead. Some were alive.
Siderius ignored the animals and continued walking. The house was full with medical instruments, even as barbaric as they were. Some herbs and bandages.
"Xonder isn't here."
Siderius sheathed his sword. He then approached the cage of a dead animal and took it out to examine.
There were bite marks on the neck of the rabbit. Its body was drenched of any remaining blood.
"We've found our secret monster. But where is he now?" Siderius left the body of the rabbit on the floor and got out of the house.
He looked around the house and spotted a small trail leading into the woods. The grass on it was dead because of repeated tramples.
