A QUIET NIGHT

XADEN'S POV

Once they resumed their journey back into the forest, it got extremely dark and they could see the moon shining along with the stars in the sky.

Erik who was leading the team put his hand out and said. "Stop."

They all stopped.

He sniffed and then looked around.

"We rest here." Erik said. "We will continue the journey tomorrow."

And then he came down from the horse.

"Wouldn't it be better if we went on with the journey?" Xaden asked.

"No." Erik said and then he pointed up ahead. "You see that dark path. That is inside the dark forests. This line here is literally the only thing that separates us from it and I assure you you do not want to be headed in there. It is dangerous."

Erik said as he led his horse to a tree and tied it up.

"Plus the horses are exhausted and they need to rest." He said.
