Chapter 206: FIVE WEEKS IN THE WILD

Xaden along with the other men in their horses, watched as the darkness completely overwhelmed the forest. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

"That was close ." Someone said what everyone else was thinking.

"The way we are closing down and destroying the way we have been coming in. Would we have a road back home? I thought there was only one way in." Someone else replied.

"There is only one way in," Erik responded. "But that does not mean there is only one way out."

He turned his horse down the roads.

"It is still not safe," Erik said. "We have to ride down for a while."

They all obeyed him as he led the way for them.

Until they came to a bunch of trees and few plants.

They came down from their horses and made camp.

Two of the men who had gone out to look for the game returned.

"You mean to say that there is no single life stock here?" One of the men asked.

"You went to look for animals?" Elyon asked.

"Not even one bloody rabbit or squirrel!" The other man said. "It seemed too scary for us to even venture further. I feel like we are the only ones in the forest."

"That is because we are," Erik said. "There is no wolf life in these parts. Only monsters. That is why we need to stay closer to each other".

Xaden was far away from the men setting up the stones to remember those who had been lost in the forest on their way out.

"I can not believe we are here." Someone said. This godforsaken place!"

Then, there was a cry in the distance.

It was not something wolf or human, and all the men went quiet.

There were goosebumps on their skin. No one moved, and they heard other howling s from afar.

It was like they were making a chorus

"What the bloody hell is that?" Someone demanded.

"It is wild sirens and Ryliats," Erik said as he fished through his already canned soup. "They are the ones who run this part of the wilderness."

"So we only have to deal with them then?" Steve said. "That does not seem so bad. We can handle them all together."

"I said they run this place," Erik said. "I did not say they were the only ones. We are still a bit far from the isle of lycanthrope."

"How many days left till we get there?" Someone else asked.

"We have precisely five weeks left," Erik said as he drank his soup.

All the men turned to look at him in shock.
