"Mount Vigerth... we've finally arrived," Kael murmured, gazing up at the imposing black mountain from the hillside.
Michel and Audrey stood silently beside him. They were exhausted; their clothes were wet and stained with the blood of wild beasts.
After overcoming the stretch of raging currents, the river of blood, they managed to advance as far as possible in a boat that was about to sink to the bottom of the river.
However, the road to the mountain was subject to several attacks and dangers, and after the boat proved useless, they had to venture into the jungle, where six-legged tigers and birds with green blood attacked them.
Some of the passengers who had survived against all odds died in the jungle, some from an infection that set in, others from being bitten by a gray mamba, one of the most venomous snakes found in the jungle.
