Kalir looked in wonder as they approached the trees. He had never seen anything so grand or so beautiful in his entire life. Kalir just wanted to touch the trees. He approached the forest, gaping in awe.
Most of the others around him at least seemed to have a similar feeling about the forest. Even Ajada stopped shooting people evil glances for a bit, looking up at the enormous trees. There was also a sense of unease at the ominous forest.
"We will get to travel in there?" Kalir whispered to LinGalad, who only nodded. Kalir subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of his sword. He didn't know why he took this caution, but it felt right for some reason. Although the forest was so inviting to Kalir, it also gave off a dark, ominous chill at the same time.
The group continued into the forest. Kalir's tension grew as they went on. What little light was left rapidly disappeared as they went deeper into the forest, the taller trees blocking out the light. Soon, Kalir's human eyes could see nearly nothing around him. He trusted the others to guide him through the maze of trees.
