장 225: Chapter 225 - “Just rest, Master…”

Moments ago, back at the campsite…

The snapping of twigs albeit wasn't the loudest, still did its job as both tents started showing movements. A second later both Sarah and Naybeah rushed out with slightly disheveled hair and clothes, their weapons in hand.

Jumping out of their tents, they were expecting some sort of disturbance, but instead of that, there was nothing. The only sight was the faltering campfire, that since it wasn't fed any fresh material started to show signs of decaying, dying down.

"What the? Looking around and failing to spot the boy that was supposed to guard them, Sarah raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Where's Aiden?" 

However, in the next instant, before even Naybeah could answer, they heard a loud low-pitched roar coming from a bit further away.

Looking at each other, they nodded, as if understanding each other without the need for words and rushed towards the source of the sound.
