In the morning light, with the sun high in the sky, the knight I had just met and I climbed out of the tree. Although being still for a while made my joints ache, we had managed to survive and that was a relief. The creatures were nowhere to be seen because of the sunlight and the smell of rain was now permeating the ground. With the slight warmth of the sun, a light fell on our legs. But as much as this relaxed my body, my soul was very anxious.
I had to hurry and get to the nearest town as soon as possible. I didn't want to worry the others, and since I didn't know how far away the town was, I tried to find the shortest possible path with my eyes. I looked around quickly, and felt a little pressure in my heart because of how late I could be.
