Julius and Rosalina moved deeper into the Crimson Forest, with Julius taking the lead. He had already seen this place through the memories Destiny had shown him, and surprisingly, those memories had not been from some distant past.
They depicted the forest as it currently existed, which meant that even though the Crimson Forest was vast enough to make navigation difficult for almost anyone else, Julius had a fairly clear idea of where they needed to go.
He occasionally adjusted their direction after recognizing familiar landmarks from the memories, guiding Rosalina through enormous trees whose crimson leaves blocked most of the sunlight above them.
The deeper they went, however, the more dangerous the forest became. Beasts began appearing from every direction, some emerging from the dense undergrowth while others descended from the branches without warning.
