Chapter 17: Carnivorous Maw
Riven made his way out of the town after close to half an hour of walking. Immediately he stepped out, it was like the breeze took a beautiful change, blowing better without the obstructions of buildings.
He took a deep breath and walked off, headed for the Blackwood Forest. It was the closest forest to Ribest, a measly ten minutes' walk away.
He made it to the edge of the forest, looking at the massive trees that stretched out for as far as his eyes could see. Without any hesitation, he walked in.
His feet pressed against dry leaves and twigs as he walked, leaving a small, subtle crackle with every step. He kept his eyes forward, making sure he was fully attentive.
The forest was considered safe for the most part, but there were still some dangerous beasts hidden deep within, and he didn't want to have a run-in with them.
He pulled out the paper from the quest he had collected. He glanced at the small details that were there. It stated:
(The Carnivorous Maw is found deep within the Blackwood Forest, where the sun shines the least.)
"So I have to look for the darkest parts of the forest. I think that shouldn't be too hard then."
He kept walking, and soon, the whole of the forest was beyond sight. He could no longer see it. With that in mind, he figured this would be a good place to finally test out the flame spell.
