Some creatures of Kratez got suspicious about the increasing lack of animals to haunt and although John was daily sending each family animals he bought from the village's farms many of them still complained and asked how all of a sudden animals were missing.

John tried to drift the attention away and make up some excuses by stating it was probably for winter and animals hibernating. Yet, despite his best efforts, many creatures didn't believe John and forced him to tell them the truth.
