Flynn Hansen had a point. In any case, the fact that his four teammates were still alive was the best news they could hope for.
The terrain on Demon's Ridge was treacherous, making the path extremely difficult. Rotted leaves and moss were incredibly slippery, and a single misstep could lead to a fall. The four of them held their staves and proceeded with extreme caution, watching every step.
Water droplets from the leaves dripped down onto her goggles. Evelyn Ford wiped them away with her sleeve and quickened her pace to keep up with Ronan Kendrick. Her shoes were already soaked through. Every time she lifted and lowered her foot, water squeezed out from the fabric and lace eyelets.
Mushrooms were already growing on the trees. The tree mushrooms were growing in overwhelming abundance, and Evelyn picked a good number of them as she walked. They would be perfect for a warming soup tonight to ward off the cold.
