Chapter 54: Gorgeous

"Last night the Griffon thing came back and attacked the field when we weren't there, so they aren't going to give us any compensation for scaring it off," Vivia said.

We walked.

"Feels a bit…"

We kept walking.

"Like they'd planned it from the beginning?"

Just walking and walking.

"Yes."

Green as far as the eyes could see, a city behind us, and lots and lots of green in front.

WE kept walking.

"Well, even if it's convenient for them, let's not let this deter us from our goals," she said.

"Which are?"

"Go on a fun adventure."

"Right," I rolled my eyes.

And we… we kept walking.

Seriously, why the fuck did we have to walk so much in the fucking morning?

After a while we reached a place with wildly growing grass. I saw occasional white flowers in them, rather small ones.

No soul for miles, and I could hardly make out the city in the distance.

"This is it?" I said.
