Chapter 426: Out of Supplies
When a week had fully gone by and they hadn't reached the library, Kim felt rather annoyed. While she hadn't had any reason to believe that they'd have reached it within a week, she couldn't deny the arguments others, like Elin, were making about how they could have gotten taken off course by the bog.
As such, she knew that she needed to waste the locate ability of her sword just to make sure that they hadn't or weren't passing it by just because of that lousy bog that had slowed them down for most of the week, including the fight with the hydra that occurred in it.
The only things that really mattered to her right now was to find the library and find a place, or way, to resupply their food. Which had dwindled to almost nothing. Even by cutting rations they still were almost out. Although she did suspect that some of the others were sneaking some of the food as well. Namely Bart, Elmo, and especially Elwin were her top suspects of that, even though she hadn't caught anyone trying to sneak food.
So, as Kim drew her sword to invoke its locate ability when they had stopped at around noon, when Elin brought up the subject, she sighed.
"You should hold it up over your head this time," Elmo suggested, his eyes almost sparkling with excitement. Though Kim suspected the excitement was more for the pose he was suggesting.
She didn't understand what the point of it would be, but when Elin joined in on urging her to do that, Kim couldn't help but raise the sword above her, with the tip pointed straight upward.
She felt ridiculous, but she couldn't help but like the way that Elin looked when she did that. Even if it wasn't something she planned on doing again. Not with Elwin laughing about it.
As she activated it's locate ability, she saw in her mind an image of where the library was. The image was gone almost as fast as it had come and she recalled the valley with the five tier waterfall again. Though, this time it felt like she was looking at it at a different angle. Plus, she felt like if they turned to head due north, they should reach it.
Not that distances were conveyed to her. Just rather what it looked like as well as what direction to head in to reach it.
