Chapter- 19

Cassien and Hyacinth trudged the foggy forest in silence. The prince had his sword strapped across his waist. Hyacinth on the other hand choose a crossbow even though Cassien was against it. She knew he doubted her abilities after all she was posing as a frail maiden.

A branch brushed her shoulder, and she almost flinched from how wet it was. Hyacinth had to look at the ground below then back at the wet leaf. "It looked like it rained here." She said to Cassien who had stopped walking and was crouched over something on the wet ground.

She craned her head to peek at what had caught his attention. It was a paw print, probably a small animal. "How long are we going to keep walking for?" She asked feeling creeped out by her surroundings. "Long enough until we catch our first prey." Cassien replied tracing his fingers on the paw print on the ground.
