Things weren't going accordingly decent.
Turning a corner around an inconspicuous tree, I was probably starting to circle back around on the other side of the forest as the sun set in the background. I was still scanning desperately for any sort of enemy to kill, my mind forcefully latching on to what little anger I had left from earlier in an effort to keep myself going. The twins haven't found me yet, but Mathilde could probably find me at any time now as I started slowing down. Didn't she say earlier that there were supposed to be enemies abound on the perimeter of the forest?
Then where were they?
"Fvck..." I panted as I stopped in my tracks, my hands falling to my knees as my blade lost what little it had left of its orange glow. "Did they just... disappear?"
