Hm… Is the ceiling getting closer?
After spending a little over ten minutes jumping from one floating crate to the next, Scaly suddenly realized that the ceiling that had been far above her so far had become close enough for her to touch if she put all her strength into jumping. In fact, it was already so close that she had to start worrying about accidentally hitting it when jumping from crate to crate.
The problem was, she didn't really have any other way to go, as going back the way she came would undoubtedly result in her coming face to face with the branch eater swarm that she could still hear moving about above.
If the branch eater swarm gave up and returned to the forest, she could go back the way she had come, but… She doubted that would happen anytime soon. So, she continued moving along the path created by the floating wooden crate with one difference compared to before, she now looked up to make sure she didn't end up hitting the ceiling before jumping.
