In the Desolate North—Dias

“But what were these treants doing in a place like this?” I asked. “A place this desolate doesn’t seem appropriate for monsters that camouflage themselves as trees.”

The treants in the back of Narvant’s cart just looked like timber now. In answer to my question, the cavekin let out a thoughtful “hmm...” and after some thought, he picked up a piece of treant and answered.

“Nobody knows how monsters think save for monsters... Perhaps there was some reason they couldn’t stay where they should’ve been and that brought them here. Maybe something happened in the forest, which is usually where you find them. Or maybe something happened on the other side of the mountain, in the dire realm where monsters nest.”

“We’ve been going to the forest to the east quite a bit to forage for the winter. Could that have something to do with it?”

“Huh? Nope. It’s like I told you before, if they had seen you in the forest the miasma would have compelled them to attack. So it would’ve been something different...like someone placing a barrier, perhaps. Like perhaps they had a reason to leave the dire realm and head to the forest, but they were stopped here because of a barrier in the forest.”

I was puzzled by the word “barrier.” Narvant’s eyes narrowed and a strange look flashed across his face as if he were connecting some dots, but then he loaded the treant onto the cart and grabbed its handles like we were done talking about it all.

“C’mon, young’n, let’s not waste time thinking about it. We should get back to the village. Once we get some fire in the magical stone furnace, the first thing we’ll do is see to that armor of yours. Then we’ll make up some tools, and make sure the people of Iluk live an easier life. That’s the kind of thing we cavekin like to do. It’s our calling, I suppose you could call it. We cavekin like to work for our food.”

So I hoisted my axe on my shoulder and decided not to think about the treants. I put a hand to the cart to help Narvant push it along, and we headed back to Iluk.
