"So how far is your den?" Lucius asked, trying his best to make out his surroundings.
Without his solar crux, he didn't have access to his night vision. So he was relying solely on his sense of smell and hearing.
"It's beside the water, a distance away from Shavak's den," Avankor replied.
~He's probably referring to the river... then it's this way,~ Lucius thought to himself before turning the cart. He could just barely make out the sound of water gushing in the far distance.
"Sigh, I don't think we'll make it back to the Chames den if we take a detour," Lucius said as he moved the cart in between two horrifically contorted trees.
"Then we can go there tomor-" Avankor was about to say before Lucius shushed him. He had heard the sound of footsteps coming a short distance from their left.
The single set of footsteps quickly became a horde of them, until eventually, it became like that of an army.
