The situation was rather strange. Alex knew something would happen on the road precisely because of the main quest line. If it were just a protection service from Crystal to Eldoria, then it should be an easy task.
But a difficult main quest just for that? No way Alex would be such a fool. The players felt the same way.
The dense fog was the first indicator that something was about to happen.
"Does this kind of fog happen frequently here?" Alex asked as he walked close to Boxer.
"No, not at all. I think a fog happened a few days ago, but it was much thinner than this one," Boxer answered, his fists ready to punch whatever tried to ambush them.
Alex disliked being inside that fog. It was impossible to see further ahead, even with his keen senses, and the silence was daunting to say the least.
Halfway through their journey was when things started to go downhill. Something came from the surrounding forests, dashing toward them.
