The sky had darkened. The once grey sky was dark now.
Inside this whole dark forest, in one place, a small fire flickered. Burning and creating light.
It was burning in front of the entrance of the cave. Amon sat inside, chewing on the roasted meat of a wolf monster. Again, this was tasteless.
"Much… munch… really…"
Gulped~
"I am eating this kind of tasteless meat for so many days. When can I eat tasty food again?" Amon muttered sadly.
Though he continued to eat, he looked past the fire, deep inside the forest.
"It seems those things aren't here."
It had been two hours since darkness came. But there was no scream, nor any movement in the forest, which was a good sign.
"So I can sleep without having to worry."
Amon finished chewing the last piece of meat and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
The fire crackled softly, its weak light dancing against the cave walls. Shadows trembled and stretched, then shrank again.
He leaned back against the cold stone and exhaled.
