Life is hunting. The true beast will never die unless you kill it.
It’s extremely difficult—practically impossible—to finish off an old beast, and even more so one that is ancient, whose killing will elevate you without the Gift. Because the Gift is only in the Abyss. In essence, the dens in it are the beginning of the Path. One who steps into the Abyss makes the first step. One who steps back with victory—the second and decisive. I made both of them.
