Chapter 33 - The Investigation in Felix's Camp

Emily let out a cry of sadness as she saw the burnt wagon, clearly concerned and hurt. Jaymir comforts her, as he states, "Don't worry, we will get to the bottom of this." Jaymir hopped off the wagon and looked at the campfire and the footsteps in the sand, then stared at the burnt wagon. O'garth removed himself from the wagon and slowly moved towards the campfire. He knelt to it and put his hand over it, feeling the heat coming from it as he stated, "The campfire will harm." O'garth looks at the campfire more closely and adds, "The sparks of flames are still within it."

Jaymir's eyes glance back at the Footprints in the sand, and he started to count, "One, two, three, four." he pointed at the footprints, adding, "There are four of them, and Felix is one of them." he continued to investigate the prints he slowly follows them to the wagon, "here it looks like felix was on his knees." his tone in his voice turned into rage as he pointed around the wagon towards foot prints, "it seems that the other three set his wagon ablaze. I guess they made Felix watch as they destroyed his property."

Jaymir then finished his investigation as he followed the footprints to the cavern, he says with a stern expression and filled with rage, "It seems they dragged him in the cavern." O'garth gently rested his weapon on his shoulder and put his shield on his arm, and slowly strolled behind Jaymir, warning him, "You ready for this, Jaymir? This might be a trap?" Jaymir glared at the cavern as he nodded in anger, "Oh yeah, I am ready."

Jaymir slowly scrolls over to the wagon and prepares himself to go into the cavern. He removed the tools, the kegs of gunpowder, and other supplies and after he removed some of the supplies he slowly strolled over to Emily gently pets her but also looked into her eyes and explained to her, "if things get rough, Emily i need to you to run, run as fast as you can, okay? Please, I need you to stay hidden, just in case, okay?" Emily tilts her head and squawks in concern yet understands what Jaymir was saying.

Jaymir equipped his things, and Emily stood nearby, yet stayed out of sight. Jaymir walked towards the cavern, passed past O'garth with a stern, angry look on his face, glaring within the cavern, announcing, "Let's go."

O'garth shifted his weight and followed behind Jaymir as he nodded with a stern expression, gripping his weapon and staring into the entrance of the cavern as he answered, "Right!" Both of them march towards the cavern with their feet digging into the sand.
