>>5332951Walking past the forest of spiked trees, the ghoul reaches a valley of other similar looking entities. Their skeletal faces turn to look at the thing holding three humans in it’s hands.
It seems the ghoul has reached their destination, at last.
The screams fade away from Pine’s ears.
Bright orange and red sunset now revert back to the dark blue midnight sky.
Pine, Zeal and Cris wakes up on the shores of the serpent scholars island.
Cris still has that cloth and the pieces of crushed fruit, but her clothes don’t look wet. Did the ghoul carry us all over here? Why didn’t anyone see it if that thing did?
Did he teleport or something?
Pine thinks about the ghoul after she wakes up.
The group ends up at Cris’ room. Zeal is too tired to walk to the fourth floor anyways, and Pine is definitely not going to have the energy to visit the inn this late.
The three of them collapses on her bed when they did reach the second floor.
The late morning arrives.
There’s no news of a break in of the processing plant, nor is there any changes to the schedule of carriages.
The group made it out without being caught.
While Cris and Zeal doesn’t have class today, going to Cinderpath will take around 6 hours. It’s not worth the effort.
Pine also promised Fern to take Makari to Cinderpath.
It seems this is the end of her stay in Silverport, for now, anyway.
It’s going to be a few months before the summer break for students of the academy, so Cris and Zeal can only visit her town for a couple days during weekends.
If Pine needs their assistance, and if their schedule line up, they might be able to visit. All it takes is a letter.
Before she leaves Silverport with Makari, the two has a few parting gifts for her.
