Chapter 313: Barren Land, What A Waste

Due, perhaps, to the darkness surrounding them and their tiredness, they hadn't noticed it seep from the ground. Although it was often referred to as something that seeps from the ground, this wasn't a known fact, but a theory. It might have been brought by the wind,  produced by the air around them, or have descended from the clouds above.

In any case, it was starting to take effect.

And the first one to feel its effects, was Krista, The Moonlit Feline.

The white-furred cat had suddenly stopped walking.

Its hair stood on end.

A slight feeling of discomfort.

Shake it off, shake it off.

The discomfort remained.

Krista's gaze moved towards Mark and Elisa who had continued walking.

The Moonlit Feline meowed. The two stopped and turned around.

Krista skipped towards them.

As if all tiredness and sleepiness had left her, she jumped and climbed up Mark's body before affectionately licking his face.
