"Impossible... They're just wild beasts, I must be imagining things..."
Randall muttered to himself as he walked over to Alfonso, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Can I ask you something?"
Alfonso sheathed his greatsword, turned, and walked down the mountain: "Let's talk as we go."
Randall followed Alfonso and then asked, "What is the origin of those two Shadow Claws?"
