Sylvar was moving silently in the dark shadows of the forest.
He didn't knew the place.
But he knew the ways of the hunter and he had passed many dangerous places like that in the past.
The beast and monsters of this unexplored forest didn't scare him.
He knew how to avoid them.
Their strengths and weaknesses.
Their senses that was better than his and their habits that made them predictable to the experience hunter.
Hours now he followed a muddy path through the brushes that he noticed a pair of trails more unique than anything that he saw for weeks there in this green hell.
It was the footprint of a large animal with claws so large and sharp that seemed unsuitable for land animal.
And next to them a pare of footprints.
"Human footprints and probably female" he thought after a while.
"-That is very strange !" he whispered looking around worrying that something may took advantage from the distraction of his attention to approach him.
But nothing happened.
"I have to take a look around" he thought noticing that he still didn't saw any river that he could follow today.
Rivers was one of the few things that he could count to find his way out of here.
The moisture made the air thick and unpleasant and near the ground flies and other insects bigger than a human fist was flying all around every time that he attempted to cross the dense vegetation.
He wanted to avoid the snakes too.
"You ugly shit ! "he shouted yesterday as a yellowish snake approached him to close to his face as he slept in the wet and full of insects forest floor.
He killed the vapour but he lost his sleep for the rest of the night.
He wanted to escape this hell.
With determination he jumped in one of the lower branches of a palm tree and started to climb.
He needed an advantage point that he could spot possible threats or distant settlements.
It was a long climb.
But he didn't found that he expected.
