Later that day, Kaisen sat on the pool's edge.
Elfie and Llyod had decided to watch the perimeter rather than venture deep into the forest.
Maximus, Sable, and Alice chose to tend to their steeds instead of searching for berries.
Everybody was on edge.
They knew something was wrong with the forest, and Kaisen planned to tell them the truth about something out there later.
He still didn't know what the hell he was even dealing with.
'Sable will answer me. But I don't think she fully knows anything.'
Kaisen thought, shaking his head.
He had let Alwyn go, and if he timed his plans perfectly, he could easily find where these people were hiding.
For that, he needed to hurry.
If he didn't, he could potentially lose everything.
'Let me check my rewards first.'
He had received three or so system notifications last night, but had decided to sleep instead of checking them.
