But there was no time for reflection .

Alright , I said finally in that low , even tone , lets see if youre a man of your word .

Even the forest seemed to pulse with some weird energy , darker with every step taken .

Do you at all know where were headed ? I said in a low tone of voice .

Warrick half turned back to me , like it was nothing .
