Having been used to blue forests and the plans emitting their plain blue shine, the knight had to resort to his own vision to make out objects in the dark.
A powerful breeze hits him from the back as the knight turns around to see who was making that noise, but it was just a deer with her child approaching a nearby puddle to take a drink. Aureus had seen those animals in old drawings, an animal extinct due to predators who had mastered the homeland. He never thought that he would see one himself.
"So there are a few still alive, I knew it!"
Aurerus jumped in an excitement, as well as caution, which made a few noises around, which scared away the animals into the forest. Aureus then decided that no imminent danger is nearby, so he sheathed his sword. Walking forward he looks at the night sky, but there are no stars to be seen, this slightly disturbs the knight, however he decided to proceed forward through the forest. The nature seems to be at ease, as the knight walks around, but then a sudden realisation strikes him...
"Tsk! I must return to the Empire right now!"
Aureus picks up his pace at this instant and rushes through the forest, getting deeper and deeper into it. In his desperation he cuts down any grass or tree down his path to speed up the journey, but it was all futile, he got lost even deeper into the territory unknown to him. After running for a bout twenty minutes, Aureus finally starts loosing his stamina and lays down besides the tree.
"Could use a drink right now, not going to lie..."
Never the less, Aureus stands up and continues his path deeper into the forest and right as he turns around a wild bear approaches him with an aggressive stance, trying to defend his territory...
