Chapter 379: The Signet
The storm clouds covered the sky until the end of the horizon. The rain fell heaving over Vulture Woods. It sounded like thousands of arrows pelting down on the wooden rooftops.
Plum glanced out the window of their log cabin and frowned in dismay. “Are you sure we should leave like this?”
“Plum,” Tauri glared at her.
“I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we’re finally leaving, but there’s a storm outside…”
“A little rain won’t stop a Hollow Shade-trained mage, will it now?”
“I'm more of an indoor mage, ya know? Surely we can wait one more day right?”
“Maybe… but if we don’t leave now, I’m not sure how much longer Stryg will want to stay,” Tauri admitted.
“You’re right, unfortunately,” Plum sighed. “Well, I guess we should head out already. Stryg’s waiting for us at the village gate. We don’t keep him waiting too long.”
She nodded in agreement. “The faster we’re out of this place the sooner we’ll be home.”
