Making sure that nobody saw him lest they would follow, Rex made his way into the forest as he was curious as to who this mutated owl belonged to. He didn't know for sure—but since it was leading him into the forest, he reckoned that the mutated owl belonged to somebody.
Some mutated animals have intelligence, the mutated birds for instance.
But that shouldn't be the case.
In order for a mutated animal to be luring him into the forest like this—there must be a strong motivation for it to do so. Naturally, mutated animals were fond of being in the wild, and free, and tended to avoid confronting a race colony, such as a big city like Dargena City.
A defensive instinct inherent from the past Rex reckoned.
So this must not be because the mutated owl has some bad blood towards him.
It could be a cursed creature. No, that also shouldn't be the case.
