Alden left the city.
Swoosh!
Immediately after leaving the city, he jumped to his right, west. He ran by the city wall.
'Since I am leaving through the South City Gate, they must expect me to enter the forest from the south,' Alden thought.
He looked at his wristwatch.
[Mission: Hunt down a Slyth]
[Time limit: 2 weeks]
'It's too simple,' Alden thought. He found the mission suspicious but didn't think much of it.
The BTN appeared in his hand, and he checked if Damian texted him. But there was nothing.
'Looks like I am alone for a while,' Alden stored the BTN and ran forward. His speed increased as he channeled more spiritual energy into his legs.
...
South in the forest, several miles from the South City Gate.
Four figures stood on the branches of a tree.
Finn sat on the branch, his face serious.
Damian has leaned on the trunk of the tree, observing them.
