Chapter 202 - The Sudden Improvisation

The group finally managed to lose the Skalverns after navigating the rocky ridge. The ridge had been steep, covered in loose gravel and sharp stones, but their horses had carried them through with resilience, though not without effort. As they reached the top and came to a plateau, the Skalverns seemed to fall back, unable to keep up with the rough terrain. There was a collective sigh of relief, their breaths heavy as they stopped, each member of the group turning back to look down the way they'd come.
