77 Chapter 77: Khan (1/2)
The carriage moved through the desolate road quietly, the mass amount of animals and other forms of life drastically decreased once they crossed the border.
While the terrain was still full of vibrant colors, it's as if the animals and humans alike steered far away from the Dark Continent… This mystery piqued Caesar's interest, however, he didn't have the luxury to ponder about such troublesome matters at the moment.
Within the next few hours, they passed through a lush forest, full of vigorous trees and shrubberies. While on the road, Edward pointed out a few directions to which Caesar followed meticulously.
”Are you sure your tribe is in this direction?” Caesar asked doubtfully.
”Yes, our sense of smell is extraordinary” Edward replied confidently.
Caesar nodded his head in acceptance and they continued moving forward… They soon arrived at a forked road… one path led to the left, deeper within the forest, while the other led out of the forest.
*creak*
Caesar brought the carriage to a gradual stop, he turned his head towards Edward and looked at him impatiently.
”Which way?” he asked inquiringly.
Edward rested his chin in hands and contemplated for a few seconds before lifting his head and repeatedly sniffing the air.
A vein appeared on Caesar's forehead, ”is your clan located in a forest, or not?” Caesar couldn't help but interrupt Edwards smelling session.
”Hmm, it's in a forest… similar to this one, actually” Edward replied.
Caesar felt as though his brain cells were slowly receding while getting directions from Edward, he urged the horses to move left and they continued on their way.
”Ah I see, if we moved right then that would mean we would exit the forest!” Edward spoke with realization apparent in his tone.
Caesar massaged his temples, 'I don't know how this guy camouflaged his limited intelligence until now… he's worse than Joe!' Caesar inwardly lamented.
They followed the road even while the sun went down, according to Edward and Ahri, their tribe wasn't very far away from the border.
While driving the carriage, Caesar couldn't help but admire the moon's beauty, it looked even more extraordinary here than it did in Rahvin kingdom.
”That's strange, why does the moon look different here?” Caesar asked Edward to the right of him.
Edward's drowsiness was washed away with the sudden question and a wide smile appeared on his face… ”that's the appeal of the Dark Continent… this place is the opposite of normal places”
Caesar tilted his head and forced Edward to continue with his eyes.
*ahem*
Edward cleared his throat and continued, ”almost every species in the dark continent is awake during the night! While in other places, during the day is where most of the races thrive… it's the complete opposite here!” Edward explained enthusiastically.
”So basically, the dark continent is the home of nocturnal races… but that doesn't explain why the moon looks different?” Caesar spoke with a piqued tone.
”No one actually knows why the moon seems different here, the only thing that people do know, is that it attracts all night loving races” Edward replied with a smirk.
*hooh*
*hooh*
As if to further explain to Caesar, different forms of birds came flying over their carriage… The silent forest soon came to life and many different forms of species showed themselves.
'This place just gets more and more interesting the longer I stay here… I wonder what other surprises this place will bring me' Caesar silently thought to himself as he observed their surroundings.
*whish*
*whish*
*NEIGH*
Two projectiles landed in front of the carriage and spooked the horses, Caesar squinted his eyes and pulled the reigns.
It took Caesar a few seconds to calm the horses, once they were calmed, he scanned the large tree's that surrounded them.
*step*
*step*
To their front, five or so men with bulging muscles walked in front of their carriage, effectively blocking their path, they had some animalistic features such as long claws and fangs.
”Grr, you're trespassing in our territory!” the man in front opened up, he had wavy dark blue hair with white streaks running across it… He was clearly a respected individual as the other four men looked at him admirably.
”We don't mean any harm, we are looking for the fox-kin tribe” Caesar replied courteously, he didn't want to anger these men for no reason.
