Chapter 169: Truth
A stray ray of sunlight licked Percy’s eyelid, causing him to wrinkle his nose in irritation. He didn’t wake up until a couple minutes later, however. The first thing he noticed was the stench of rotting wood and spoilt eggs. Not the most pleasant scent to come to, though it didn’t take him long to recognize where he was, having spent months training in this very place.
‘Why was I asleep in the middle of the swamp?’
A rush of memories soon followed, reminding him of yesterday’s events. Or, well… At least he hoped they were yesterday’s.
Shifting a little, he realized he was sitting against a tree’s trunk. Apparently, his companions had been kind enough to not leave him rolling in the mud. Nesha was sleeping in a similar position a few paces away. Tracing Micky’s location through the cord, he soon found him perched up on a branch nearby, scanning their surroundings.
‘Update?’
‘You finished doing the thing. Then you went to sleep. We took turns watching over you. It’s been longer than a day.’
Percy nodded. There were plenty of things he had to take care of, but one of them took precedence over everything else. Not missing a beat, he pulled up his Status again, this time taking the chance to examine it more closely.
