Drake just sighed.
"Alright, can we make it there before nightfall, or should we wait and go first thing in the morning?"
He would ask Melody.

"We might be able to make it, but that deep into the bog. It doesn't matter, the danger never rests."

"Alright. Lets go then, whenever you're ready."
He would say eager to make some progress.

She followed him into the bog!
There was no clear path inside of the bog. The ground itself tried to suck them in with every step, the vines around them dangled and gripped at them. The air was thick with rot, and the air silent except for their breathing and the bubbling of the mud and muck. It would be peaceful enough at first. but once they were out of sight of the walls of the Bastion the marsh seemed to darken, the vegetation so thick above them that most of the sun was blocked out. Before them was a dark body of water, the other side of the bank seemed to be less densely vegetated. Going around would take them deeper into the woods and into the dark.
Melody seemed uneasy just being here, rubbing her arm with her eyes darting around like she was expecting to be sprung upon at any moment.

Drake looked at the water.
"Hmm... I don't know how deep this is. But if it dips at all I'll be screwed since I only have one arm."
He would get up and turn to Melody who seemed obviously uncomfortable. Which is too be expected he supposed.
"Hey, see anything we can use for a raft? It'll be faster to cross this than to go around."
He too would survey the surrounding area for anything they might be able to use.

"I don't know if that is a good idea."
The water continued to bubble as the stale wind came from the dark woods, smelling of death.

Drake sighed and turned to Melody.
"Do you have a better idea then?"

Melody's answer was to scream as the first monster began to rise from the depths of the bog, mud and putrid water dripping off of it as the vines seemed to start stirring around them, twitching and writhing. |

Drake would see the monster.
"Fair enough!"
Drake would grab her arm with his only good arm and would begin to run further into the forest to go around the lake!

In to the woods they would go, the vines growing thicker and denser as the light began to be choked out by the foliage within. He could hear the sounds of wood creaking and snapping and then a large root would erupt from the ground under their feet. Melody for her part would stumble and fall into the dense plant life with another scream of terror!

Melody was being wrapped up in roots and vines! Drake would find roots and vines also starting to wrap around his ankles!

Drake would look around and curse.
Bringing his hand up to his mouth he would bit his thumb and form a blood and bone blade, hacking at the roots that threatened to consume him and Melody!

As he cut through the vines inhuman shrieks filled the forest as the blighted started to come out of the shadows toward the two humans. More vines whipping toward Drake in an effort to entangle him! |

Drake would swing his blade to cut Melody free first!
"RUN!"
This is bullshit. What kind of fucked up place was this?! Drake would hack at the vines trying to surround him dodging in the same direction he sent Melody running to. It was at that time he could feel the weariness hitting him.
"Shit..."
He didn't have much more in him. This wasn't a time to fight. Drake would run after Melody!
