The best place to hide was always a cave. Dark enough for anyone to stay hidden, and usually made people think twice before going inside, making it the perfect place.
Well, if Arthur had the option of getting a more comfy place, he would, but they searched throughout the forest, and the only decent place they found were caves, so they picked one.
Liz feared going in, so Arthur and Lucas had to go first, explore it, and get rid of any danger that may lurk inside.
"Could a powerful beast be inside this place?" Lucas asked as both of them went inside the normal-looking cave.
Arthur could already tell from kilometers that there was nothing inside the cave, only bugs and that's it, but he could not tell that directly.
"Probably not. If something dangerous was around, then the villagers would have reported a few attacks."
"That is true, but maybe they are not only working with the kidnapper, but also with the beasts. Who knows, one of them might communicate with them!"
