Alex continued forth. His recent chat with that pale skinned boy had been quite fruitful. It supplied him with huge confidence to continue on his journey.
While walking the whole journey, Alex also made a mental note of his surroundings.
One good thing was that past a certain point, there was actually a faint light source lighting up the surroundings of the cave!
All over the ceiling and walls of the cave there was a strange orange glowing moss, faintly showering the cave in an orange hue.
So far he had spent 4 hours walking in the direction he had deduced the village to be in. He had started to doubt his judgement after spending so long with nothing to show for himself, but the moment he spotted the blue orange moss lighting up the cave, he decided to continue in this direction regardless of if he found the village or not.
But the fact there was light meant that it was more likely to be in this direction.
