Chapter 343: Strange Reunion
A day and a half after leaving where their base camp had been, Kim could see where the fight with the bear had been. Or at least where it had started before it ran off after Kim managed to take out whatever it's weakness had been.
Jonas still wasn't sure about the finer details and accepted that Kim didn't really understand them either. Maybe if they had other stellar bears that they could fight and kill they'd be able to figure out a few things, but even if that was the case, Jonas doubted that he'd be that interested in finding out. Especially with how it felt like it would take more effort than it'd be worth.
However, as they saw the damaged trees where Sonya crashed through, he felt satisfied that they'd soon be able to put this whole incident behind them. Though, the only hitch in that idea was the fact that he suspected Sonya hadn't fully healed, especially with what had happened before, where she wasn't able to heal like normal.
Though, if his count was accurate, it was just under two more weeks before that would be possible. Though, he couldn't say if something else might be possible to occur to affect that estimate one way or another.
Still, once they were all together, he hoped that they'd be able to figure out a plan of action. It wouldn't be long and provided that there there wasn't anything big that had happened while they were gone, then they could focus on figuring out what the set challenge was and how to complete it. Jonas was confident about that.
Letting the others go ahead of him, Jonas took a few minutes to look around him. He wasn't sure if it was just the fact that they were getting closer to the end of these challenges or if this last one just went smoother than he had expected, or maybe even that he was just being paranoid, but it felt like something was going to happen. He couldn't be sure what it was or where it would come from, or even what form it would take, he was just confident that something was going on. All he could be certain about was that he wasn't going to like it.
As they arrived, he saw Bart and Elmo dragging what looked like a wild boar into the camp, coming from the opposite direction that Jonas was coming in from and Heather looked like she was changing or something, under her blanket, her face beet red. Sonya looked like she wasn't going to move or anything for a while, but for some reason, it felt like she looked apologetic or something. Jonas wasn't sure what to make of the situation, but he couldn't say if it really mattered or not. Not when it wasn't anything that seemed really out of place or that would be a potential problem.
"Good to see you've finally gotten back," Bart said, as he and Elmo finished dragging the boar to a place that looked like they'd designated for cleaning out the animals they hunted.
"Yeah, it's good to finally get all of us back together," Elwin replied, looking like he was ready to help clean the boar and get it ready to cook.
