"Sir, we have found something interesting."
Avius looked back at one of the scouts he had brought with him. He was holding a lantern, which was strange to see in a place like the Withered. Why would they buy something like this? And who would even sell one? Well, you could say for housing, but he doubted that his scouts would just steal a lantern from a house.
"A... lantern?" He said, disappointingly, as he sighed.
The scout tensed slightly, nervous after seeing Avius's first reaction.
"Yes, a lantern, but what is strange is that we found it where you saw that figure. Maybe it belonged to it, and he had lost it."
His eyes widened slightly, but he quickly regained himself.
'Would the Abyss really forget something like it? It is plausible, but at the same time, it might have been intentional.'
He lay back in his seat, stealing Keres a glance, but while he was supposed to be his first man and help him, he was having fun with his sister.
