Chapter 20 - 20 Pack of Wolves
Kyra dismounted from Lucas back and approached the edge. As she got closer, she could clearly see that the water level had indeed risen.
Lucas shifted into beastmen and exclaimed, "No way! There's no other way than this bridge to the tribe, and the alternative route is too long, we'd have to pass through six tribes,"
Kyra pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can't we try going to a nearby tribe instead?"
With a sigh, Lucas rolled his eyes and replied, "We don't have a choice. Let's head to the nearby tribe, but hold on tight because we'll have to cross a forest to get there." Kyra nodded in agreement.
Lucas shifted once again, and Kyra settled herself comfortably on his back. He wasted no time and began running.
As they went deeper into the forest, Kyra's heartbeat quickened.
The trees seemed taller than usual, casting eerie shadows in the darkness.
The sound of rain added to the creepy atmosphere.
This forest was unlike anything Kyra had ever seen before. In her world, there were only a handful of forests, considering the advanced development even she herself partook in... her thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a broken tree up ahead.
