Chapter 28: Journeying Together

I don’t think I noticed the tension of traveling with Orion and his cronies, but once we head out of the little town, it’s like a weight falls away from all three of us. We have supplies – I spent my last gold and silver on a bow and arrows of my own – and we have a destination to get to, but we don’t have any arrogant jerks looking down on us or going ahead and doing ill-advised things without caring about anyone else’s opinion.

“So where are we going?” Petra asks once we are well and truly away from the dungeon entrance and its surrounding town, when she decides that it is safe to talk.

“The lost city of Jyger-Te,” I say. “There are a bunch of undead that spawn there at night. Good for experience but not loot. But more importantly, there’s the Jyger-Te dungeon. It starts at level 23 and has seven level jumps between floors. But we’ll have to find the entrance, which won’t be easy – it’s been sealed off for a long time.”
