Capítulo 82: (LXXXII) The Barrens

"We're almost to a safe spot to camp for the night, sir!" Ziq said, poking his head into the carriage, "Is the young miss alright?" 

"Yeah, she's just resting right now; she'll be fine when she wakes up." Jackson said, smiling at him. The rest of the girls were huddled together around Megan and excitedly talking amongst themselves. 

An hour later, the two men set up the camp while the women tended to Megan a short distance from the weathered path overlooking the canyon leading into The Barrens. 

Jackson stood watch all night while the rest of the group slept; he tried practicing his techniques but had reached a roadblock, preventing further advancement in his skills. 

"I'm missing something..." He muttered, sitting on a massive rock close to the cliff's edge with his back to The Barrens. He asked August about it before they left Duskgate, but he had no clue what he was talking about.
