Chapter 389

The muddy black dirt road is cleared wide enough for two wagons to pass even long after they enter the tall ginkgo trees of the forest, marking it as a well-traveled trade route. The undergrowth looks like bamboo to Cain, which means that they must be clearing the area around the road fairly regularly just to prevent the other trees from getting overrun with the fast-growing bamboo.

The roar of the waterfall becomes obvious just after noon, but there are no hills in the area, so where the water is falling from is a mystery to them all. At least it is until it comes into view a few minutes after they have turned off the dirt path that serves as a road and begun making their way towards the noise.
