"What?!" Greyson exclaimed before quickly grabbing onto the mouse and burrowing underground once again. When he felt he was deep enough, Greyson finally stopped and just sat down exhausted. Reflecting on his actions, he felt he let Theo's earlier success cloud his judgment. Just because those little tricks worked before did not mean the Cidian Bears were stupid and could not realize the situation was not right. There was no king that would join the war immediately; he would first send his best generals to lead the soldiers. Only now did he recognize his foolish thoughts arising from impatience to save Lucius. Now, there was no way to attempt the same strategy because all the tribes would be prepared. Soon they will realize the warning messenger did not exist and that they were tricked. It was just... he was so close! The more he did not see Lucius, the more he was concerned over his friend's situation. Since the Cidian Bears already entertained thoughts about exploiting him to curry favor with another powerful tribe, whose to say it would not happen really soon. Just because the other tribes do not agree did not mean they could not execute the trade in secret. At that point, Greyson would be unable to do anything. Even more influential than the Cidian Bears means that this tribe presumably has a great magister level stage five existence or even higher. He would have to wait until he is stronger while leaving Lucius to suffer in captivity.
