Simon carried the terribly injured body of the little girl on the back of his warhorse as he swiftly charted a safe course that had fewer monsters with the help of his [Mental Map] skill. The skill allows the user to map out the geography of any place that the user had explored before.
The skill is quite useful as it not only maps the geography but also helps him understand and mark the denizens and their numbers in the area. The more area of the forest he explores, the more detailed the [Mental Map] becomes.
In these past few days, Simon had explored a fair bit of the outer region of the west side of the Ghastly Winding Forest. Although he was still far from charting it out completely, he still knew where the strong monsters and their lair were. Avoiding the areas where monsters were especially territorial, they flew over a path with very little concentration of monsters.
Phew, it was tough writing a cruel scene. My heart aches so much for her. But the scene was necessary as the future events will be greatly affected by this turn of events. And Simon will find himself in the centre of the storm that is gonna brew without even knowing.
