"I wasn't thinking about the city." Arlen's eyes tracked dust drifting through sunbeams. "I am talking about the Emberwood Forest. Three miles east of the molten aqueduct. Outer ring teems with low tier beasts, good for drills."
Zephyr asked, "What about Inner ring?"
"Inner ring? Don't think about that…" He shook his head. "Even A-rank squads wouldn't think about it. Void bears. Flare wasps. Alpha wolf, and countless more A rank or higher beasts live there. Stay outside."
Zephyr nodded. "Outer only. We'll scout rogue beasts, test new drills. Star needs real prey."
Fenna crossed her arms. "I'm coming. Maybe I will find a beast worth binding. It is time for me to tame a beast."
"That's a good idea. You can't be a beast tamer without a beast." Alren said.
