The Girls Who Eloped

Erin said that the ruins nearby have a bit of a reputation. If it weren't for the fact that nightfall came in too quickly, we'd have taken a detour around the edge of Chalk Peak. Maybe I'm just a bit slow on the uptake, but I just can't get over all these strange sights out here in the wasteland. It's unlike anything I could have imagined back in Dad's shelter. Of course, I trust Erin completely. She's a true veteran huntress. She's lived on her own out in the wilderness for years. I just wish she would relax a bit. We still have plenty of food. Everything's been smooth sailing so far. According to her, it's still a long way before we reach Blackfell. And she's still so tense, it's starting to take its toll on all of us.
