They walked for hours.
They fought three more times. A pair of Ashen Stalkers that came out of a collapsed archway. A lone Stone-Shell Crab the size of a cart wheel that Emric pinned against a wall while Lyra finished it. A group of six smaller Crawlers that Renna thinned out before they reached the formation.
By the time Emric said "I believe that's it," his shield had four new scratches and Renna had burned through most of her first arrow set.
"I believe that's it" meant he could see the glow ahead through the fog.
The Safe Zone must have been a beautiful place once.
Once a huge temple, now it was mostly rubble, with just enough walls still standing to suggest the shape of what it used to be. But the formation circle carved into the stone floor around it was still good.
At its edge, the fog stopped.
