44 Entry

The group followed keenly behind Caleb who skulked forward with casual caution.

Focusing on the world what was the forest each and every aspect, the whistling wind which weaved between the trunks, the beats of the wings of birds and his heart alike, he focused closing his eyes

Crack

Eyes shot open and with a quick twitch Calebs head looked back to see a Rea downtrodden

"Sorry"

"Rea you have to be more careful

" I not make mistake again ,"

Caleb looked at the one who sat at the shoulders of Rea and back to Rea

'A teenager and a giant even more childlike than the one who sat on her shoulders, why the hell bring them to this kind of mission '

Caleb continued on forwards still skulking about and occasionally looking back to see and he would be met with a blinding light from the knights armour

Caleb with one hand raised his hand flat upwards .

The group continued walking forward without a change in pace and he just stood there straight and sighed heavily

"i think that means stop "

Pivoting around gleefully he was face to face with John

"Is it?"

Caleb nodded with a massive smile

'Hahaha this little one is intelligent'

"Do you have any other we want to know ,im guessing they were clan hunting signals "

Caleb not sure nodded with a bit of hesitation

Looking again towards the knight he had enough with that walking flashbang.

Caleb quickly scooped up mud from the ground walked towards Marcus and he smothered the shining armour to a dull sheen caked with mud

Marcus just allowed to happen standing there indifferently

"Not bothered that the guide is making you armour a mess"

"I overlooked the fact that my armour may be detrimental to our objective, to be honest, i would have to do it at some point."

After the group just got comfortable and Marcus armour was stained with mud losing its glimmer Calebs touch.

Raising his hand up and addressing everyone with a glance he raised his handandstarted to move

Caleb quickly outpaced the group while they were trying to understand the signs John quickly sprinted up to the side of Caleb .

"Move forward im guessing"

Caleb face still focused forward nodded

Walking forward-looking focused was really talking to the voice in his head

'System , where would we find direwolves

[im not a sat nav]

'Please'

[Where did you find the previous wolves]

"Deep in the woods near the giant tree"

[What do every creature need to survive]

"Water"

......

After confiding with the system Caleb continued forward without much hiccups in the jungle except john being scared shitless by a swarm of birds fluttering out there perch,as they continued their march the light started to dim as they skulked through the forest and the cold started to set in giving the forest an errie gloom,Calebs breath started to steam up looking back they all looked like they were doing fine but Rea was almost tranced by her own condesating breath.

Moving forward Caleb saw the familiar grey which glinted in the night light.

Shooting forward he approached the church in blistering pace , Looking at it now the reclaimed by nature look was replaced by death and decay ,It was like a mirror to its previous life

This feeling put a pang through Calebs body

"Didnt expect to see a ruined church this far in"

"Probably a church to the earth mother, druids set these up deep in the woods,Apparently it attunes it to nature better and in the hopes it will reach the earth mother"

'Whats a d...

[Imagine a tree hugger who can make trees hug you]

'That sounds slightly present'

[And crush you]

'Oh ,how fun'

The group quickly walked forward and Lela touched one fo the dead vines

"it is all ,dead and dry"

"Confusing i heard that even if these temples are abandoned they are reclaimed by nature

Caleb just stood back looking stoic but really feeling embarrassed in the inside feeling responsible for what had befallen the church .

"Lets go inside and get the camp sorted "

The group entered without any qualms and played out bags to sleep in

"Let me search inside see if i can find anything useful" John quickly rushed into the back of the church

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH A FUCKING SKELETON "

John ran out as quick as the sentence met the group's ears

"Ohh no john this place is haunted SpOoKy"

"Oh come on there is a bloody skeleton aren't you a little bit phased by that at all"

Arms outstretched and looking around at each of the party members ,they seemed unphased

'I feel for this midgit'

[Dont let him hear that ,the small ones are the most tempermentative]

'How are you guys accepting this so easily Caleb thought internally looking at the almost baffled John and unphased party.

After some time passed the beds were set up and one extra for the guide

"Camps finished ,John ,Lela Hunting ,Rea get some dry wood and Ellie what are you going to do

"Im going to read our guide the book "

"Oh ...okthen "

Marcus quickly started searching around the church

Ellie sat on one of the pews and slapped it with a spare hand looking a Caleb

Caleb pointing to himself and Ellie nodded and quickly foudn himself sat next to Eliie

"So lets get straight in ,this is my favourite book ,the story of the silver knight ,it even has pictures ,there was once named a knig..."

'FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rea came in first and gave the sunken face of Caleb a smile laughing clearly but not letting a peep out ,she had enough wood under one arm to keep the fire on until daybreak

John returned exacerbated carrying a small boar over his back the same size of his diminutive figure.

Lela followed with a boar of even greater size over her shoulder which was only marred by the red which welled at the top of its skull.

John downtrodden looked towards Caleb and started to smile and as Lela glanced over to him he got a smirk.

Marcus cam out of the inner sanctum and saw the john and lela and smiled

"Good catch let get this food going" and after that he rubbed hisand looking to Caleb and Ellie he laughed even more as a girl only reaching up to Caleb's upper chest was reading a story to him

"Sorry to stop your storytelling, would you mind lighting this "

Ellie looked up annoyed and picked up the staff and slammed it downwards a spark of fire lighted on the pile of wood the wood turned into a pillar of flame

Caleb just sat there aww struck by what magic could do

'System ,can magic pick things up'

[It is not advised to use magic to just get you your drink from half a table away ,even if you do learn it ]

'That is pretty preemptive'

After the meat was cooked everyone went to sleep and night watches were assigned to each person,

Caleb went to sleep and he dreamed
