Continue on the Path
“No, it’d be dangerous to leave the path...” You realize, turning back towards that endless stretch of path with a long sigh. “We’d better just keep on.”
Once more, you start walking. Your boots start to echo again, thunking alongside Baal in silence for another several minutes until the landscape begins to change around you once more.
The trees fade out while the path starts to get rougher, changing into a graveled line alongside the rocky crags of a mountainous texture. In the distance, you can see the path leading up onto a slope of dark, gray crags of rock. “I think we’re nearing the location-” Baal murmured, glancing over at you. “Ready for the challenge ahead?”
You glance over at him, feeling the game taking control again as your eye convulses into a wink. “With you? Anything!”
You give a shake, disgusted at the banter, but you turn your focus to the upcoming mountain edge. Checking the map, you see your current location clearly at the base of the mountain while the X sketched on is just slightly up the side where the path begins to wind up into the piled edges of rock.
“We are getting close-” You start to feel jittering nerves rock your knees on every step. Your hand drops to the hilt of your sword, prepared for the first sign of battle. “I’ve got a bad feeling about this place...” You think aloud, looking once at Baal. For the first time, you’re rather glad for him being there since this place does not seem as minor as the wolf attack. Instead, with each new step up, you see you’re nearing the opening of a cave.
