The creatures collapse into the undergrowth with a final cry. You steady your breathing and press onward through the trees.
Rainwater drips from your cloak as silence returns to the forest. The path ahead still calls to you.
You clean the blood from your weapon while the wind rustles softly through the pines. Another challenge overcome.
The forest grows still once more as the fallen beast disappears into the fog. You continue deeper into the wilderness.
Your pulse slowly settles as moonlight breaks through the clouds above. There is still ground left to cover.
The scent of battle fades into the cold night air. With cautious steps, you continue your journey east.
Broken branches crunch beneath your boots as you leave the battlefield behind. The woods stretch endlessly ahead.
The creatures retreat back into the darkness from whence they came. For now, the forest permits your passage.
You wipe the sweat from your brow and tighten your grip upon your weapon. The journey continues.
A chilling breeze passes through the clearing as calm returns at last. You carry onward beneath the pale moon.
The echoes of combat fade behind you while distant lantern light flickers between the trees. Forward awaits.
Your weary body aches from the struggle, yet your resolve remains unbroken. Step by step, you continue onward.
The mud beneath your boots is stained from battle, but the forest path remains open. You move ahead without hesitation.
The night grows quiet save for your steady footsteps along the trail. Another encounter survives only as memory.
Fallen leaves swirl around your feet as you depart the scene of battle. Somewhere ahead, fate awaits you.
