Fairspell Meadow A main character arrives when he intends to!

A small herd of elk caught the demon beast tamer's eye. He decided to follow it from a safe distance to observe their behavior and their course, as the large beasts were a rare sight for the young overlord. The herd was headed for a sizable meadow beside a lake in unfamiliar territory. The tall grass ripplied in the breeze like water, its height cloaking him from their sight.

They were all cows, many with youngsters by their sides, he noted. Gundham counted eight cows and four calves. If he wished to unleash his full power, he could easily take down a cow for himself, but the dark lord was content to merely observe the prey and leave them at peace.
