Eva felt pressure around her ears. As soon as she became aware of this pressure a popping noise made her flinch and the sounds of the forest came back to her once more. 'What just happened?' She rubbed her ears and heard Red whine next to her.
The fog hung over the forest thickly and seemed to engulf even the trees closest to her. The only reason she did not lose her footing was the tree directly next to her. When she had clashed with this monster earlier the fog did not quite get this thick. She wanted to call out but the person she wanted to call out to was not here.
How long had she been standing here waiting? Without the sun and light to gauge the time of day she could not be sure. Was this what it was like to engage a high level monster? It was not quite fear she was feeling, but maybe a loss of self. It felt as if, no matter what she decided, she would always end up in this same place.
