Meanwhile, Erica and Brant were still walking north in the night as the full moon is still upon them. The moon was always up in the sky to guide the way for those who step outside in the night. Brant and his mother did not hesitate to walk in the shadows to stay away from the demons before they could catch them. The young man kept his mother with him so they do not get lost in the dark forest. The forest of Midland has always been a pathway to many places, and many things some people would find disturbing.
It was during that time that Erica began getting exhausted and felt as if she could not move on any longer. She felt her head and started feeling warm inside, and she acted as if she was about to pass out. Brant had his left arm around her back and assisted her as they walked in the night. They had no carriage to take them somewhere and had nowhere else to go but to the next village. They believed that by going to the closest town, they would be given a room to rent in a tavern.
