"Are you all ready?" Ron asked.
"Yes," Medina replied.
"Ready!" Carlo smirked.
Sitting on top of Alex's cap, Fran enthusiastically raised her hand. "I'm ready!"
Alex nodded. "Ready."
Ron looked at his party members and briefed them about the latest update on the Shadow Forest.
"In the north, the Demons are very active, so they have frequent skirmishes," Ron stated. "But we're heading east, so we don't have to worry about that problem. Of course, that doesn't mean we have nothing to worry about.
"The east is covered in thick fog, and demons who specialize in ambushes thrive in that kind of environment. As a precaution, never lower your guard and always stay within a four-meter range of each other."
The Swordmaster then glanced at Alex and Fran, knowing that he would be taking them to one of the most dangerous places in their kingdom.
