I ran in despair to where they were before. As I had moved far away from the lava pits and had been drinking water, I had regained some of my stamina, I was feeling much better.
But mentally I was completely out of my mind at this point.
"Where are you?" I already approached while shouting to see if they showed up somewhere. They could have gone after water like me, no? Or that's what I hope they did.
I started walking around shouting, but they didn't respond or even give any sign that they were nearby.
"Was that thing that got them?" I thought we had gotten far enough apart, but that must be it, that monster killed them all, I'm sure of it.
'No, they might not be dead yet, but how do I find them?' I didn't have any location magic like some adventurers, the most I could do at the moment is looking for some sign of them.
But her bags, weapons, clothes, everything was gone.
