Bab 240: Draken Pass

Draken Pass was a treacherous path, snaking through the steep slopes of the sleeping mountain. And at this time of the year, it was especially dangerous since a few inches of snow could bury the whole pass and everything within it in a matter of minutes.

Most casual travelers and amateur hikers would never in their wildest dreams imagine traversing such a difficult terrain. However, there had been a few brave adventuring types in the past, who had taken this perilous shortcut. But only a handful of them had managed to reach the summit, and just a couple of them had made it back to the foothills.

Guided by Abigail, Xander and the others carefully navigated the rocky terrain. There were fallen boulders and eroded rocky outgrowths jutting out of the ground at every turn. The skeletons of dead travelers littered the ground and discolored satchels and rusty grappling hooks lay scattered around them.
