Chapter 28: Waiting for nothing
Tharosk and Kaerith reached the log and the surrounding sticks much earlier than they expected.
"Where are we going to spend the night, sir?"
"There’s a cave nearby, the scouts gave set up a small outpost inside."
The Ravager guided the Mindcarver to the large opening in the ground.
"The tunnels are low, we have to dismount and walk, also be mindful where you step, these blasted invisible cats best here."
"Of course, sir."
They carefully entered the cave, and started making their way through the labyrinthine underground space.
Tharosk walked very deliberately, murmuring to himself the order of turns. At some point it was clear that they were no longer in a real space - they walked in one direction for far longer than should be possible.
It meant they were on the right track, they entered fake dimension between the cave and the outpost, now they had to pray Tharosk remembered the right path to get in.
A few minutes of meandering later, they stopped in front of a large iron door.
"We made it." Tharosk announced triumphantly.
"I never doubted you, sir."
