"Ah shit, here we go again..." Vendrick mumbled as he prepared for the incoming wave. "How many times would it take for you to stop? Ugh."
Aa he turned his back and ran towards his temporary camp, he kept paying attention to the things happening behind him. Even though he had no eyes on the back of his head, could see what's going on.
A trail of black smoke was coming from the deeper parts of the wilderness. The smoke behave strangely, it was as if it was looking for someone or something which shouldn't be possible but it is indeed doing just that.
Vendrick had encountered this black smoke before and its bad news. He couldn't allow it to catch or else he have no short of troubles on the remaining of his journey.
Vendrick was swift at his retreat but the black smoke was just as fast if not, faster than him. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to catch any of his trails so it was taking a different route.
