207 The Scene of Slaughter

"Would you slow down?" Elero asked as she stared at Thomas, who was both devouring his breakfast and paddling in a bizarre display. The group had been traveling for a little over an hour. The ruins were gone, replaced with thick patches of plants and shallow bodies of water commonly found at the center region of the swamp.

"I'm…" Thomas said in between bites. "Starving. Even though this is still pretty bad, frogs never tasted so good." After he finished off the bundle of cooked meat, he took out another, which he began to munch on as well.

"Seriously, slow down," Elero put a hand on his shoulder and they came to a stop. "You can't be full on frog meat when you fight or you might just vomit it back up. You'll be back at square one with a rumbling stomach. I'm not saying starve yourself but at least have some semblance of restraint for the goddess's sake."
