Down The Pathway

Northern and Ellis continued to follow Hao, silently at first.

But after Northern noticed that they kept going deeper into the forest rather than going out of it, and Ellis seemed to have no idea what was going on, he decided to speak up.

"I'm sorry, where are we going again?"

"Shut up and follow me."

"Yeah, but the way back to the castle is back... this should only lead us out of the capital, I guess?"

"I said shut your mouth."

Northern frowned slightly.

'I'm really beginning to have my fill of this man...'

He decided to just walk silently... for now.

The forest only grew thicker as they walked within it.

Northern could have sworn he never ever thought the forest was so large.

He had just made a presumption that it was a small partition that separated the northern border of the city from whatever lay beyond.
