The journey to the springs took longer than it did yesterday due to Pagan's constant whining about how heavy the cart was. He begged multiple times for the shroom to take his place, but Lucius denied his pleas.
And in the end, it bore fruit. His stats had all increased by leaps and bounds, though it left him drenched and haggard.
"What is that thing anyway?" the shroom asked, pointing towards the cart, as they stopped in front of the main spring to allow Pagan to rest. It seemed that there were quite a number of creatures around today.
These creatures were way larger than Lucius, the smallest of them being the size of a small boar. However, they all seemed preoccupied with whatever they were doing, perhaps seeing something of Lucius's size as insignificant.
