Alexander had his fingers crossed, his eyes closely monitoring the creature, praying that it didn't look up.
Both Alexander and Ebenezer exhaled softly once the black figure passed their tree and continued on its way, glad that they had survived.
"We should wait up here for a while before we continue. Try and sense Silas' magic while we wait." Ebenezer said and Alexander closed his eyes and tried to focus on picking up the traces of magic around him.
"We are close. A couple of miles and we should be there." Alexander said and after confirming that their surroundings were safe enough, they left the tree and continued on their journey.
"Nooo....not again." Alexander groaned when they ran into another group of hellhounds that afternoon.
"Silas should be somewhere around here." Alexander whispered as they climbed a tree before the dogs could see them.
