Chapter 9

It was hard to tell the exact distance we traveled after the waterfall wall, but I figured it was another mile. Then the riverbed ended in what I guessed was once a lake bed but was now just a massive shallow bowl of rock, sand, and gravel. In the center of the bowl, some fifty or sixty feet down, was the massive skeleton of a pliosaur. The skeleton was kind of curled up on itself, but I guessed it was probably sixty feet in length.

There was a gentle slope on the side of the river bed that Tom was able to climb out of, and then we continued our trek westward through the jungle. The trees were still pretty dense, and I had to use my axe to cut through some vines and branches that would have otherwise knocked Trel and me off Tom’s back.

We cleared a path though, and the jungle soon became less dense and then faded into sporadic palm tree clusters as we approached the foothills on the west side of the valley. I felt as if we were really far away from our camp, but I guessed were probably only four miles, and I kind of chuckled to myself when I realized how the idea of distance was kind of messed up in my head. Yeah, Los Angeles had crazy traffic, but four miles to me was really just a five to ten-minute drive with little danger other than the fear of being rear-ended. We weren’t even to the ocean yet, and it felt as if Trel and I had taken an epic journey and risked our lives dozens of times.

The real crazy part was that Sheela had gone to the ocean by herself.

Thoughts of the cheetah-like woman made me smile, and I wondered how they were all doing without Trel and me. I figured they wouldn’t have any problems, but I wondered if my own quest would have been easier if I had brought both Trel and Sheela with me. Yeah, we probably would have taken care of the carnos a lot easier with Sheela’s Critical Strike ability, but that would have just left Kacerie, Galmine, Liahpa, and Emerald at the fort. Kacerie might have the leadership ability to get shit done, since she did own her own salon back on her world, but I still felt a lot better about leaving Sheela in charge.

“It looks like we can get back to the river,” I said as soon as we had emerged from the thick jungle and began to climb on the foothills, “but there also appears to be a path up ahead that cuts up the side of the hill. I think I’ll head up there. We should be able to see the ocean, and then we can cut back down to the beach and join up with the river there.”

“Fine with me,” Trel said as she squeezed her arms around me, and I urged Tom up the slopes of the hill.
