Eventually, Kyle did as he was told and walked into the dark forest.
He had been in the forest during the dark a couple of times, but Theodor sent him much deeper into the forest than the last times.
His reason?
Apparently, it wasn't dangerous enough near the edges.
'What the fuck is his problem? I don't want to put my life on a coin toss! Seriously, if I die, it's his fault!'
Kyle walked through the underbrush, and the sounds of his movement echoed throughout the quiet forest.
During the day, there was more noise in the forest, and the sounds of his footsteps weren't that out of place.
But during the night, Kyle felt like the entire forest heard him.
Whenever a bush rustled, Kyle felt like he heard its echo several times.
That made him feel quite exposed.
'Seriously, I need to learn how to sneak. I should talk to Lancel and ask him to teach me. He seems pretty good at sneaking.'
After walking for a bit, Kyle saw a pile of leaves.
