Chapter 100 : Prepare for the Worst

My heart flooded with warmth and I took Soren’s hand. He squeezed my fingers and smirked. With a sharp tug, he pulled me along.

We caught up with Enzo and Payne by the front door.

“It shouldn’t be too difficult to find the herbs, right?” I asked.

Enzo shrugged. “I know some good places to look. But there’s been a lot of rain…”

“Lead the way.” Payne pointed toward the door.

Enzo led us out to the front yard. The ground was soggy and squishy under my feet, oversaturated with water.

Water still drizzled around us but it was more like a mist than a rain shower. Natural mist, not magical mist.

We walked toward the mountains where the Moon Goddess temple had been. I moved a little closer to Soren, remembering what happened the last time we were there.

“Oh, crap!”

Enzo’s curse pulled me from my thoughts.

“What’s wrong?” Soren asked.

“The road ahead is washed out. The only way around is to wade through that flooded lowland over there.”

He pointed to the flooded area.

“It looks like we’re getting wet,” I muttered.

We all stood at the edge of the flooded area. It was impossible to tell how deep the water was and, in the darkness, I couldn’t see the other side.

“I’ll go first and test the depth of the water,” Payne suggested.

Before Soren could say anything, Payne plunged into the water. It devoured him quickly, until he was just a head above water.

“It doesn’t get any deeper than this, and the other side isn’t too far off. We might have to swim a little, but there’s no current, so it should be easy,” Payne reported.

“Let’s go, then.”

Soren went in next, leading me by the hand. Enzo followed us.

When we got deeper, where I couldn’t touch the bottom anymore, Soren swung me onto his back. I wrapped my arms loosely around his neck as he waded through the deeper water.

If I thought finding the herbs would be easy, I was sorely mistaken…

On the other side of the flooded land, the ground sloped upward. We’d be going into the mountains, which meant no more flooding.

“Come on, there are good herbs this way,” Enzo said. He motioned to us to follow him.
