Next morning, Lena tightened her bag straps, greeted Caelum one last time, and left for Veth.
Inside the wooden carriage she sat alone with her thoughts.The carriage was tied to a horse-like creature, but the difference was clear the moment you looked at it.
The thing was a lot bigger than any normal horse, built wide and heavy, and where eyes should have been there was only one, sitting dead center on its flat broad skull. It moved without sound, which made it worse somehow.
For the first time since arriving in this dungeon, Lena was out of Ashfen.
The surroundings for the first hour were nothing but Deadland. No greenery, just pale cracked earth stretching flat in every direction like the world had given up on itself out here.
She laid her back against the carriage side and let her eyes close halfway.
