The group that followed the Avatar had remained stationary for some time, making a temporary camp as they planned their next course of action. They had finally decided to head down the mountains.

The ground beneath everyone began to rattle furiously. What was causing it remained a mystery. Above the rumbling, a voice echoed out from all directions and rang in the ears of each person. "So, you've bested the most powerful of my pets? That's a shame, I really liked them. But that's all right, I'm learning how to make more just like them," the ringing of the voice grated in their ears as it continued, "I may even be able to make some that are stronger. Each of them exceeded even my strength in some way. Once I perfect each, I will take them in and become one. Maybe then I can stop it." A soft giggle broke the tension as the voice went on, "But where are my manners, none of you likely care about any of that, let alone understand it. If you haven't already guessed, I'm the one you're all after; the one they call "Mother". Though I'm not sure I like that name. I'm not really a woman, nor even a man. I only look like this because of this wenches body that holds the child." The voice paused and seemed to be thinking before it went on, "I really wish I could talk you all into going home, I have no real desire to kill you, but I know that isn't going to happen. You've got to be the 'hero' and try to foil my 'evil' plans. Surprising since I'm trying to stop the real evil, but you wouldn't believe that. So, I guess there's nothing to say but to follow the light, you'll find me there. See you soon, tata."

In the next instant, the remains of the Archetype that was contained in the orb rose into the air and flew toward a range of mountains in the distance, leaving a trail of light. two other trails of light could be seen flying toward the same mountains from other directions.
