It's been hours, perhaps we've already sunk the entire day into fighting the Beast Mother's Cavern without ever laying eyes on the Beast Mother herself. But we've come far this day, farther than we'd come before at least.
We're right where I want us to be. I'm full of mana and the Spirit Warriors freshly summoned and Jungle stronger now that he's caught up on some rest albeit sick with a hunger that plagues us both because somehow, neither of us thought it prudent to pack a meal.
Frankly I thought I'd only spend a couple hours here with the large reinforcement of Spirit Warriors I stepped in with, but quickly proved not to be the case.
Still, we're right where I want us, need us to be. We're ready.
"Alright, Jungle?"
He gives me a curt nod, twirls his spear brining up the tip with a flame blazing and starts the unsteady march down the tunnel.
