Day 34

"Well, before we do anything else or go anywhere, we need to eat something." said Caleb as he walked out into the sun.

Kai suddenly felt famished; he couldn't remember the last time he ate. He followed Caleb outside and was temporarily blinded by the morning light.

When his vision returned, Kai saw Caleb move towards some vines growing up the mountainside and heard him say, "Since we have no weapons, are being chased and seem to be in a bit of a hurry, I suggest we collect some of these berries and eat as we travel."

"Sounds perfect, thank you." replied Kai before joining Caleb in picking the berries.

Though they were mostly unprepared for traveling, Kai's satchel would do perfectly for carrying a surplus of berries so they could have something to eat later as well.

"The cave portal I passed through to arrive at your doorstep yesterday will surely be guarded by now; so we must find another way back." said Kai as he nibbled on an extremely bitter berry.

Kai spat out a seed from between his two front teeth, then continued, "Have you heard any stories of strange creatures, people disappearing, mysterious travelers?” Things like that?”
