Irving flips through the Historia Legendaris for the entry describing the creature Kodachi and Grub encountered in the fairy forest.
“The Questing Beast, so named after the sound it makes of dozens of questing hounds, was borne of a human woman. The woman, infatuated with a boy from a family of high stature, made a deal with a devil who promised to make the boy fall in love with her. However the devil manipulated her into accusing the boy of raping her. Fearing the loss of status the family would receive for the boy's supposed actions, the boy’s father had him torn apart by dogs as punishment. In the moments before his death, the boy prophesied the woman would give birth to an abomination that made the same noise as the dogs about to kill him.” “The beast has come to be known as a sign of chaos and decay, particularly that of man as he grows corrupt in his quest for power, greed, lust or pride.”
