        Charles laughed, "Aren't you going to ask who we are or something first or I don't know, what is the Mother of Beasts"

"Ah, yeah... Who are you guys anyways?" said Connor.

"Well, I'm glad you asked my dear Connor" said Charles with a smirk on his face, "I am the great Charles Linnaeus, beloved poet, talented actor and world-renown researcher"

"Ah... I see" Connor felt slightly amazed by this fact even though he has no idea who Charles Linnaeus is, however, he still feels the presence of the other unknown individual "Then who's that guy?"

"Oh, that's just Virgil, he uses a bow I guess" said Charles.

Indeed, the man named Virgil was holding what seems to be an improvised bow on his hand, paired with what seems to be a quiver with arrows strapped at his back. The archer's arms looked more muscular compared to Connor and Charles, probably due to a constant use of his bow.

"I see, I see..." Connor looks at Virgil who does not seem to pay attention to the situation, "Is he shy or something"

"Nah man, he just doesn't really talk" said Charles

"Well ok" said Connor "Anyways, what is the Mother of Beast"

"Well... How should I explain it" said Charles "Ever heard of a bear, you know that they chase you and they're like super strong and you're pretty much dead when you see one"

"Yeah?" said Connor "I guess I know what a bear is"

"Well the beast we're seeing knock down a full-grown bear under two minutes"

"The fuck?" said Connor "Why the fuck would you guys ever want to go near it?"

"Because that thing destroyed half of my ship" suddenly Virgil uttered with his arm crossed.

"Because that beast ruined our chance to escape this island" said Charles.
A beast that can possibly pulverise a full-grown bear, the fact in itself made Connor shiver in fear. The way that the two describe "seeing" the beast, sounds more similar to "hunting" the beast. Being weak and fragile while just escaping a watery death a moment before, he said "Sorry, I don't think I want to see the beast"

"Aw man, well that's too bad Connor" said Charles "Well we gotta get going, stay safe man"

"You too" waved Connor. Charles and Virgil went inside of the forest, leaving Connor at the shore of the beast.

"Connor huh" he thought to himself. Is it really his name, the voice when he was unconscious kept saying that as if it is calling out to him, but is the name really his?

"Connor... Connor..." a familiar voice struck inside of his mind, it was the same voice that call him out when he was unconscious. He turned and it seems as if it is coming from the seas.

"Connor... Connor..." the voice has a deep eerie feeling that can be compared to a dying man on his deathbed. Connor is unsure who it is or what it wants, he felt horrified of the voice, but it drew him closer to the seas to know more.

As half of his body submerged inside of the seas, the voice abruptly stopped. His head felt light, he looked around for the sign of the voice, however it is nowhere to be found. Suddenly he saw a school of fish coming towards him and then circling around him.

"Hi fishies" said Connor

"Hello" said a voice coming from the fish
"The fuck" Connor surprised that the fish actually replied, has he gone mad, he thought to himself.
