Another stumble. Another Gods damned slip on the rocks. The slopes are too steep. We need to do something about that. If only someone would just blast these stupid mountains off the face of the world, Meropis would be the better off for it. If it happened to take those disgusting rams with it, all the better.

Again. Again, and again, and again, all this climbing. What was so damned important about the place? Well, it's not my place to say. It never has been, has it? We still know as little as we always did, and the Akubi know even less.

Some guy named Gloern was shoving all the boulders that we took such care to place to isolate those weird rajamala. He even killed a few of them with one of the rocks, the heartless bastard. Made a funny crunch, though.

But one of them... by the Gods, you should have seen it. The creature -shattered- the boulder it was behind when Kayeil, Penwize, and Gloern started to get it moving. Stronger than we could have ever believed. We weren't sure that the behemoth would meet expectations.

It damn well did. Tore people to shreds. I could hear the bones popping from Sapience. Probably. Well, I wasn't on Sapience, so you'll just have to trust me that it was quite loud. Anyway, eventually they stopped running right into their deaths and gathered a bit of a fighting force together. Seems to struggle a tad with groups of people. It's a shame that Sarathai killed it, really. I'd have liked it to get out of the valley.

The behemoth found something, though. I know you'll be angry that I didn't get it. Gods know I'm angry, I don't even know what happened to it. Some guy just grabbed it and disappeared. I'll do my best to track it down.

That's all I got for now. Still a work in progress, but you know that. We'll find it.

Oh, this report is from Squall Cleft.
