The group passed through another twisting corridor and came to a side cave used for food storage. The little guys' sleeping bags were also here, their tiny bedrolls looking strangely comical.
Colin and the others put down their backpacks and set up their own sleeping spots.
Just then, an Orc child walked over.
He went up to Kase and started saying something, but Colin could only vaguely make out the Orcish pronunciation of the word "Kase."
In the end, the little Orc took out a small stone imprinted with a white handprint and handed it to Kase. After Kase took the stone, the little one scurried away in a flash.
Kase stared at the stone in his hand, silent.
"What's that?" Colin asked.
"An Ancestor Stone from the tribe. It's just something the little guy made himself, though. It's probably just for good luck." After speaking, Kase stuffed the stone into his pocket.
After the food was distributed, Orelia and the other members of Black Giant Root also entered the cave chamber.
