Igor stretched leisurely, feeling refreshed and comfortable after a good night's sleep.
The cave was quite warm. Although there were swamps on one side and streams on the other, there wasn't much chill inside. On the contrary, there was a slight warmth, which played a crucial role in Igor's ability to sleep soundly until dawn.
The morning sunlight poured onto the earth, causing a thick fog to rise over the swamp. Seeing the white mist, Igor couldn't help but shiver, a chill creeping into his heart.
Turning his head, Igor intended to take another look at this cave, which had served as a passage. But what met his eyes was a completely different scene.
A pair of watery eyes, bloodshot and ringed with faint dark circles, stared at him dazedly, indicating extreme fatigue.
The owner of these eyes was Kadi, who looked anxious, staring at Igor as if hesitant to speak.
"You almost gave me a fright, Kadi," Igor shrugged, joking.
