I veered off the path as soon as I knew I was out of sight. I pulled out a diamond sword, and ran, following the whispers in the forest, the signs of wear, even recent, until it was nightfall. I stumbled into a large meadow, set up my sleeping bag and went straight to sleep. Little did I know that I had stumbled right into the ruins of Silikarin...
