"Looks like it's about time we move these walls. Walker saw the sun coming up and had not heard many sounds outside for some time. It seemed that their counter attack against the starlight crickets had been enough to scare them away. That, and they were too hungry from recently waking up to stay in one place and attempt to get a tough meal.
"Then we can do it together." Su was ready with her earth spirit partner to move the earth wall away back in to the ground where it should be. She had a feeling that they would see a slightly gruesome sight when they did but was ready for it.

Just as she had imagined, there were plenty of shells around. The walls fell away easily with her and Walker working together. But that was it. There were only shells. "They ate each other. That's even worse." Remey kicked away one of the larger pieces of shell from the black crickets. They were too soft to use for anything but still, the fact that they had been unable to gather any materials from the endeavor was disappointing.
"I can still take these shells back for the guild to study and record. I'm sure they will be helpful." The shells even blew slightly in the wind that seemed to be picking up for the day.
"Alright, we can check out the few places still intact and recover whatever we find to bring with us. Then we will leave from here and keep moving." Onyx was acting as the driving force for them to stay on track with his plan. They would be a little behind but he had factored in a longer travel time even though he had said two and a half days. It was better to be optimistic and say that than any shorter. Now it would be about three days which didn't seem to make much difference.
Midnight was leading the way for Walker since she wanted him to see the place she had found the books and still had more there. She wasn't sure if anything would be able to shine more light on what happened here but it was worth the shot. It was also one of the reasons that the group had been on edge enough to react to the sudden appearance of the starlight crickets.

"Are you feeling better this morning?" Walker had seen Alice eat and seem to act as if she had recovered her enemy. She was slightly slower though which made him think that she was still a little off after forcing a new song she had yet to properly refine in to a working protection.
She started to nod her head yes before she stopped herself. She seemed to realize something before she shook her head side to side instead. "Head hurts." The words sounded as if she was embarrassed. Walker realized that Alice had not wanted to hold the group back but thought better of hiding it.
"Then we can help out with that. We have a low tier healing potion that should help out. Then take some of the warm mint leaf tea that Remey brought. It should help you relax a little." Walker grabbed the water bottle that he had in his storage of the tea and held it in his hands while manipulating the small amounts of fire elemental mana from the rising sun. The bottle warmed up slowly. It was the best invention for traveling since they could put it right in to the fire. The dwarves that sold them must have made a fortune. "Thank you for telling me. I don't want you to end up hurt while we are out here."
The moment had gone uninterrupted by Midnight since she could tell it was a meaningful one. However, they were at the building that she had searched while Su, Gil, and Onyx were at the others. She hopped through the window followed by Walker and Alice. Walker got to work storing away the books and anything that seemed important. He managed to find a small box of torn letters and writings that seemed to be to other similar villages.
"I hate to say it, but I think this kind of monster experimentation is more common than we thought. And also seems to be more than one race. These letters are from the demi-human kingdom. They have their seal from letter carriers. Not that they would know what was written inside." This meant that more than one small village had attempted something foolish like this. It had easily been many years ago but still a terrible idea. "We can just hand all this over and have a group investigate it. There might even be answers when we ask around."
There was disappointment as they left the building. However, the disappointment seemed to continue when Remey handed over a box of journals that seemed to record the progress of their magic experimentations. "I have more like that about feeding. I think one of them actually tried to make them like that while the others thought they were making a new food source to save the kingdoms from potential famine." Su really felt the desire to help and knew it could push people to extremes.
"It's terrible. That last house over there even has diagrams about how to change a grass eating monster in to a carnivorous one. It's kind of messed up." Gil didn't even have proper words for it.

"This whole village is messed up. Onyx, I know we are here for a reason and it was just a stop, but thanks for stopping here. This is valuable information that should help people in the future." Walker was really thankful. Knowing about dangerous monsters was always better than being surprised by them in the future.
