Some two days later, two figures could be spotted hastily running across a rocky valley. They were in an obvious rush and refused to stop to rest until they were safe.
They were Rocky and Sabina. For a random passer-by, they would both look like they were fleeing for their lives.
"Let's rest here. We may have lost them now," said Rocky as he slowed down.
"I was hoping we'd get to a safer place. But it seems like we just keep on encountering more danger as we get closer to the peculiar light." Sabina frowned with fear.
Two days ago, Rocky was injured by a dangerous encounter they faced. Compared to that, the recent encounters were much less life-threatening.
"The last beasts were just a few Single-eyed Moths. They were just at the fourth grade of the four-star level. They aren't as dangerous as the Four-wing Lame Dragons that chased me off a cliff," Rocky explained. Recounting the Four-wing Lame Dragons reminded him of Cherry, the mysterious woman who saved him. He wondered if she was still in the Myriad Beasts Ground.
"Four-wing Lame Dragons?" Sabina gasped in disbelief.
"Yes. I had a quick detour around their habitat in the Myriad Beasts Ground," Rocky replied casually.
"You're just bragging!" Sabina rolled her eyes at Rocky. She figured he was just showing-off and it wasn't as bad as he's narrating.
"Look," Rocky said. "We've been going around in circles. We haven't reached the peculiar light at all." Sabina looked around. Seeing the skepticism on her face, Rocky smiled. He gazed at the direction of the peculiar light. For the past two days, they have encountered many great dangers such as spirit-manipulated beasts. They felt as if they weren't getting closer to the light.
Just that morning, they encountered Single-eyed Moths that chased them all the way to the valley. They managed to lose the moths, but they were also stuck in the complicated terrain of the valley.
"This place looks safe anyway. Let's stop for now and rest," Sabina suggested as she looked at the sky. The night was about to fall.
Rocky did not object. They were both tired and chances of them safely navigating the landscape were thin. He relied on Sabina to stay safe. She had overwhelming strength as someone in the Supernal Stage. If she was tired then they had to rest. For one, they only escaped the Single-eyed Moths thanks to Sabina's great eye. If it weren't for her, they would have been trapped in the pitfall set by the moths.
They found a safe place in the valley. Their heads were covered by an arched stone and it was partially enclosed by stone walls. They were able to lean against the walls and set a flame.
