From stepping off the path he goes across a butterfly which ends up altering the future causing the whole group to get into a huge fight.

I feel as if the theme can be multiple things but it really stood out to me how a small butterfly can cross paths with a man looking to kill and be irresponsible by leaving the group because of greed of death and ends up changing the future so the butterfly represents karma and how it can change the type of situation you are in so I feel like the theme is karma.

•the rifles cracked again, Their sound was lost in shriek and lizard thunder. The great level of the reptiles tail swung up, lashed sideways. Trees exploded in clouds of leaf branch.

They saw themselves mirrored. They fired at the metallic eyelids and the blazing black iris.

•Direct-"They let themselves be led along the metal Path. They sank wearily into the Machince cushions They glazed back at the ruined  Monster, the tagnating mound, where already strange reptilian birds and golden insects were busy at the steaming armor.
