Eldric's plan
As Leo and Eldric continued their journey through the thick forest, the air was filled with the pleasant scent of herbs, and the sound of rustling leaves provided a soothing backdrop to their task. The forested area they had entered was dense and teeming with various types of herbs, a treasure trove for any adventurer.
Eldric, still playing the role of the experienced guide, led Leo deeper into the forest. He pointed out rare herbs and explained their uses, each discovery adding to Leo's growing knowledge of the flora in this mystical world.
As they progressed, they reached a part of the forest that was shrouded in shadows. Tall, ancient trees with gnarled roots and thick canopies formed a natural curtain, casting a dim light on the forest floor. It was here that Eldric's intentions took a darker turn.
