With the light slowly dimming, both of them tried to rotate and keep moving. The monster in front was not going anywhere, it seemed, and the forest would become far more dangerous at night.
Rosacer moved toward the right through the tree canopy, with Gringha following behind him on the ground. They stopped, turned, and shifted directions repeatedly to avoid monsters that wandered their way. It took more time than they expected, but eventually both of them reached the end of the forest and stood in front of the gate, the entrance to Kial's farm.
"I will be going back to Vermis. Meet me at Fabio's Tavern tomorrow morning," Gringha said.
Rosacer gave no reply as he walked forward. Gringha did not wait for one either and took the path toward Vermis.
For a second, Rosacer turned to see which path Gringha would take, but it was already too late. He had vanished without a trace.
Rosacer sighed and whispered to himself, "Thank you for your help."
