Chapter 91 - Frost Rune
Deep Inhale.
Hold
Long Exhale.
The air up here just smelled better. It didn't carry the stickiness of humidity or earthy smells of the jungle. It was a hint of pine and a slight undertone of forest.
Well, it would be until I finished my preparation. Then it would be something else. Hopefully.
Getting away from the camp was surprisingly easy. As soon as I went to Abigail and my Dad, who were together for some reason, they didn't fight.
Initially, when I found them together, I thought I was in for a slog of an argument but none of that happened.
They almost seemed to expect it. All Abigail did was make sure I had everything planned and made sure I didn't forget anything. All my Dad said was to be careful and that sometimes retreating was the honorable choice.
It was weird.
The whole trip back I thought they were planning something. Like they were going to pop out and say psych before laying into me about how stupid a decision this was.
I didn't know how to feel about them not putting up a fight. I should be happy that they weren't babying me, but the lack of pushback had a certain feeling of its own.
Well, I couldn't dwell on that for too long. I had shit to do.
