Spikesby posits that maybe it's a magical creature or something similar to an Adept, but this seems somehow wrong, even to him.
Glory advises in the affirmative.
>>"No, no. It doesn't smell at all like a magical creature or an adept. It smells almost exactly like the opposite of that."
Spikesby feels the "hard to breathe" feeling as well. He can breathe fine, but there is some tightness in his chest, like some essential quality of the world is absent near this creature.
The war though...
Spikesby points in the direction of Radia's tower and indicates its nature. Glory asks if it is warm under the ground and how long the creature will digest for. She also asks what it has found so far, what its people are called, and what it has found so far.
>>"WHAT IS UNDER GROUND? IS NOT FOR THIS. THIS COMES TO COLD LAND FROM WARM HOME TO EAST. WILL DIGEST UNTIL ALL IS GONE AND THEN WILL GO AND FIND TO BE THE EXPLORING. WE ARE DREAMS OF SHADOW. WALK THROUGH LAND OF SWAMP WITH NO FOODS TO EAT AND STARVES IN COLD LAND. TWO THINGS SMEEL OF SO COLD IS HARD TO KEEP TO THE TALKING OF THINGS SMEEL SO STRONG OF COLD. OVRIUR REST NOW THANKS THINGS OF COLD HELPING TO EXPLORE."
It retreats back into the building. Spikesby thinks. If he remembers anything about geography, and he doesn't know much, he thinks that straight east of here is Childless Meg's swamp. East of that is the Sea of Oblivion. Nothing comes out of there, though, and nothing goes in. it swallowed the entire world except for the little bit that everyone lives on now during the wizard's war. Master Blacksoul is always researching in his lab, trying to find a way to push the wall of shadows that delineates its border back.
The feelings of breathlessness and disorientation go away as soon as the monster retreats. What should Spikesby do?
