'Good job, Nero,' I said Nero as we stopped beside a well-hidden spot. A good spot is necessary, as we have crossed the territory of the Celub city.
We have now entered a buffer zone between Celub and Haln; the most dangerous part of travel.
96% of all fatalities occur here. Thankfully, this area is small. By tomorrow evening we will pass this region, and all will be safe again.
I put down my abode and walked inside.
After freshening up and showering, I started to cook dinner. I finished within an hour, before eating it alone.
Nero ate with me for two nights, but since then, he is living off the fruits and other things from the forest. He is out and scouting the path; it is due to him; I had not been attacked by a single monster.
I had asked him to come for dinner, but he declined.
He is loving the outside too much to come inside and I did not force him.
