The forest was quiet, and not a single rustle from the leaves nor a chirp from a bird was heard. Right now, in the cave James had led Noah to follow him, the two men stared at each other without blinking away.

"The sea creature you are looking for is not there in the lot where you are looking for, they are better off in the sea than staying in ponds."
