As you follow the path, you almost walk right into another leagus, who is lying on the ground, almost invisible because of the shadows of the trees. This one has a lion's mane, which makes you guess that this one is a male.
"Ahh," he says. "Finally, a visitor." His voice is slow and deep, like an tremor in the earth. "I am Secrouch."
He stands, stretches, and then proceeds to lie back down, although this time he is not stretched out across the path. "Nasty habit of mine, falling alseep in the sun. I guess it does things to your head."
He seems a good deal more laid back than the others, so you ask him about what Skyflare said.
He shakes his head. "Unfortunately I wasn't here for much of it. I was one of the later Leagi to enter the Wood, you know? So I am a bit in the dark. However, I do know that when we were traveling to the rainforest together, we met a man who called himself the Great Mage's Apprentice. Whatever that means," he says, angerly.
You press him for more information.
He shakes his head. "Nothing really happened then, because the fellow was up to something, probably devious if you ask me. He did make some comments which made us uneasy, and we left his presence quickly. If we had known more about him, we might have attacked, but he may not have been lying. He could have been powerful."
He points his nose up the road. "Why not go and visit some of the others? They'll know better than me."
