Chapter 47: Fangborne is trash.
Certain details were left out in the story that the old man had given at the campfire.
One of them was that the Fangborne was a very territorial creature.
Of course, hunting to feed was one thing. But clearly, it hunted not just for that.
It hunted because it was trained to attack those with the slave sigil.
The Fangborne was a 'treat' the Vaelcrest left as an obstacle in the forest.
And this was the mistake Oliver made.
He assumed that the creature was going to be distracted by feasting on the other slave.
There was also the fact, that he might have gotten a bit carried away with the knowledge of the future that he had.
And lastly, while the Fangborne was terrifying, it was nothing compared to the Bellied Desert Scorpions in the night trial.
If he could get past those, then why not this one?
That little trace of cockiness had been his undoing.
