Day Eight began with a delicious meal cooked by Veer for his group. Meat wasn't a rarity in forests like this, so they weren't about dying from hunger.
However, they had begun to store some meat as they would soon be in the caves. It had been more than a week since they started their journey and it was hellish to say the least.
They had never thought they would have to fight so much in a matter of a few days. Their bodies were filled with bruises as even the healing potions were running out, so they were using them scarcely.
The group had been marching non-stop towards the Hill, and only stopped when they couldn't fight and had found a cave. After all, many times they couldn't even find a cave and had to fight in darkness.
Fortunately, David's Aspect came in handy and they were able to travel a considerable distance each day using his Aspect. He usually absorbed darkness at night and used it to cover the whole group.
