Three weeks later.
After cautiously camping at night and traversing large distances during the day, the party finally arrived at their destination.
The city was quite a distance away from the dirt road that wound through the secret plane. It was deeper into the woods.
They had initially thought that it would only take them about a week or so to reach the city. But the closer they got to their destination, the more the land had become infested with all kinds of monsters.
It was as though all the monsters were somehow drawn to the city.
And with that realization came another.
One far more discouraging.
As rain fell from the skies, Adam and the rest found shelter in one of the topmost branches of a towering tree. The rain helped conceal their scent, and they were grateful for it. Traveling during the daytime while hiding from monsters had gotten increasingly difficult as the days passed.
