Reeva sat atop the horse as he always did. It had been about three hours since they set the forest fire trap, and it had proven invaluable—no deer had caught up to them since.

Reeva's [Experiment] ran out, and his body reverted to normal.

The absence of deer left Reeva feeling both relieved and uneasy. On one hand, no deer meant there was nothing to attack the group immediately. On the other, it felt like they were walking into another trap, as if whatever was controlling the deer had something planned.

Looking back at the path they came from, there were no signs of deer anymore. Ahead, the thickly covered forest rushed past as they rode. They had decided to retrace their route back through the village, knowing it was the fastest way back to the capital.
