A week's journey ahead...
The group was now standing next to a large lake, a green area surrounded by trees as tall as buildings.
On one shore of the lake, about 8 kilometers in radius, Vicente and his people were in a makeshift camp, where some of them meditated and others monitored their surroundings.
The group was in its original formation, with no casualties, despite the various battles they'd had over the past week. In those battles, they had encountered inferior vampires, fighting like they had never fought before on their journey.
They had encountered no Mid-level or High-level Paragons yet, but they had had at least two battles that were even more dangerous to the group's integrity than the confrontation with the 5th-stage Sacred Devotee they had encountered weeks ago.
