"Master," Gwen called from a distance. "We are surrounded on all sides."
Gwen's figure suddenly appeared beside Broken and stood there while he also immediately became alert.
The fog slowly faded away, revealing a pathway lined with tall, dark trees. Their branches seemed to stretch out like welcoming arms, their leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. As the mist receded, the shadows shifted and swayed across the forest floor. Now that the fog had cleared, the path was clear.
Aerin smiled eagerly as she exclaimed, "They welcomed us, Broken!"
Broken gazed upon the path that had been arranged for them; it was now a large tunnel formed from the trees that had been bent and twisted to create the entrance.
