After fate brought my best friend and me together in a completely unpredictable way in an unremarkable forest tavern, I felt as if the weight on my shoulders had become a little lighter than it had been before. However, this did not mean that I was so happy that I forgot about the deadly threat that hung over the three of us. No, rather, that my apprehension only worsened after that.
After leaving the tavern, we wandered aimlessly through the forest for a while. After all, now I really didn't know where we could go. It just so happens that we have no other allies left in the whole empire. We were literally on the edge of a precipice, and in this situation there was no one who could lend us a hand.
Right now, we just kept walking forward through the forest without any clear purpose. Anyway, since we were on the run, it was dangerous to stay in one place for a long time. So we left the tavern as soon as we finished eating there.
