Chapter 10 – Runaway (10)
It had been three days since I was on the run. It was a bright morning; the sun had yet to fully rise and the sky only just started to turn blue.
I began to move after warming up.
Despite the dense thicket surrounding me, I could still peek at the huge hawks soaring in the sky; occasionally, glimpsing three meters long deer and five meters long cats. (At this point, it was better to call them saber-toothed tigers and behemoths).
Currently, I was scurrying to find a safe and peaceful life.
Last night, after agonizing over how to avoid freezing without leaving any traces, I decided to dig a pit and light a campfire.
Lighting a campfire was a stupid move that would leave a clear trail for the pursuit squad as well as attract nearby demons, but I had been left with little choice.
After leaving the campfire on for three hours, I put the gravel I had placed in the fire into my leather bag before proceeding to move.
