Chapter 100: Chapter 100 - Grimhold

In that area, where the light flared, four figures appeared, standing in the clearing.

Towering trees loomed overhead, their dense canopies weaving together to shroud the area in shades. The ground beneath them was soft and treacherous, a mix of slick mud and shallow pools of murky water that faintly mirrored the few rays of light filtering through the thick foliage.

Spark was nowhere to be seen.
