Carissa felt that no matter what, she had to go into the mountains to search. Everett should arrive within a day or two, but until they came, she could only use the most straightforward method to find them.

The weather in mid–February was still very cold. It wasn’t as dry and harsh as the northern winds, but there was a damp chill that felt even worse. The cold seeped into everything, making her already anxious and restless heart feel even more uneasy and heavy.

That night, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Her thoughts kept circling back to the fact that the mark Rafael had left was several days old, and she wondered whether they had encountered other dangers in the mountains.

What if the people from Stone Village had discovered them and ambushed them?

In those deep mountains, a massacre could occur and no one would know.

Even though she knew the climb ahead would take a lot of energy and she should be getting some rest, sleep eluded her. She finally gave up and rose before dawn.

As the early morning market stalls were opening, Carissa hurried to buy the provisions they would need for the journey into the mountains. By the time she returned, everyone else had begun to stir.

For this expedition, they would split into three teams.

Carissa would lead one group consisting of those from Meadow Ridge. The second group would be 30 members of the Mystic Army, led by Michael. The third group would consist of 20 members of the Mystic Army, led by Kyle.

The Meadow Ridge team was a small group–just Violet, Cynthia, Bun, Travis, Claire, Alana, and Leah. Aside from Bun and Travis, all of them were women.

The night before, Bun and Travis had talked for a long time. Bun felt that Travis had been carrying a heavy burden and could no longer tease him with the nickname “Shit Stick“.”
