Before the orphans can even finish stretching for their grueling daily run, a crazed boar with glowing green eyes charges out of the underbrush. With Runa down and their companions rapidly burning through their remaining vim, Alric is forced to deploy his new, enhanced body to keep the beast at bay. As both Angen and Valer collapse from the overwhelming toll of the fight, the ultimate survival of the group rests entirely on Alric’s batons.
