When Bartlett and Little Ghost first arrived at Engoro Volcano, it was already close to evening. However, the sky was still bright, and darkness was kept at bay.
The entire volcanic adventure was tense and intense, but it didn't take too long. Bartlett successfully obtained the magma and, inadvertently, picked up... no, saved a strange woman. He then started his journey back.
The larks fell silent, and the nightingales began to sing. As they moved along the Chelmoor Hills, the sky soon turned completely dark.
Traveling overnight was not wise. If it were just Bartlett and Little Ghost, he might have chosen to do so. However, now they had a wounded person in their group, making camping outdoors inevitable.
He chose to camp beneath a lonely giant on the hill—a tall oak tree that was over a hundred years old.
