Chapter 24: Bone Bridge
The plan was simple - find the Grief of the Forgotten, get rid of the Red Swirl and the chase, then focus on finding the Ascension Rune.
Kain's plan might not have worked out because the flower was are or so far away, but not this time.
Misezko's soft paw touched his back, pushing him forward a bit. They emerged from the Forgotten Tomb area, only a few steps out of the heavy fog.
"You see an outline, right?"
Kain narrowed his eyes. "Yeah... It's a long walk."
In the distance, a lone stone peak could be seen, one of many surrounding the misty lands. A skull sprouted with earth and roots became part of the peak. Only bridges and trails along the mountain connected the peaks.
"Before the Broken Skull, you will see a bridge, and a bloody river flows below, filling a lake hidden deep underground. It allows plants like Grief of the Forgotten to grow, so at least you'll find one."
"Sounds like you know quite a bit about it," Kain warily said. "Any clearer instructions? Where should I look for the flower?"
Misezko smiled bitterly. "Sure, look on the slopes. That's where the most roots are, the most blood..."
It was time to leave.
Before doing so, Kain turned around, wanting to quench his curiosity.
