Kranos deduced from the creature's behavior that it wasn't particularly powerful—at least not yet. However, once it succeeded, its power could grow to an unprecedented degree.

"Kranos?" He was startled out of his reverie by the sound of a voice next to him.He turned to see Ross standing there.
"What happened? You just touched the tree and became unresponsive. I hope there isn't a problem." With consternation, Ross inquired.
Kranos hesitated for a moment on whether to tell them what he had discovered. However, he realized that even if he told them, not much would change.
"It's nothing," he stated. "Let's keep moving forward."
After a brief pause, he added, "How long until we reach the safe haven?"
After giving it some thought, Ross answered, "At our current pace, it'll take us about a munth."
Kranos frowned. He wasn't certain that a month would be sufficient before the creature attacked the safe haven.
