Walking in the strangely quiet forest, chills ran down Dave's spine, the eerie environment combined with the horrors he had seen, was making him jump with the slightest stimuli. Even the cracking of dry wood with his step was making him jump with horror.
As he made his way toward the Cloudhold, he warily looked around, trying to spot any monsters. It was good as well terrifying that he could not see any monsters. And with sunlight getting bleaker by the minute, he understood that night would soon fall on him, and the chance of him getting jumped by a monster would be increased significantly in the night. So he put haste in his steps and moved as fast as he could.
Climbing up and down the slopes of the mountain was not an easy task. He could not afford to get injured in any way, after all, he was all alone out here, so he every step very carefully.
