Eren left at dawn with Emily and the wolves.
Rosa wanted to come but Emily shut her down before she finished the sentence. "You're staying with Griks and Nimbo inside the village alright? Nobody leaves the perimeter without us."
Rosa didn't argue. She'd heard about the orc tracks from last night and the look on her face said she understood. She just squeezed Eren's hand once at the door and went back inside.
They moved south through the slime field first. Eren could see the tracks Fury had found last night. Three sets of deep footprints in the soft earth, each one wider than his boot and pressed at least two inches deeper. Whatever made these was heavy.
Emily crouched next to one of the prints and ran her finger along the edge. "Wide foot. Flat sole. No claws." She sniffed the dirt which was a thing hunters apparently did in this world. "Leather wrapping. They wear boots."
