Description: Karkat and Selendis head to Africa to investigate a Witches’ outpost, and their findings are rather ominous
There was a lot of ground to cover between the Mirror and their destination, but getting in close to a possible Witches’ den was never going to be easy. Selendis had the endurance to cross the distance, and she knew Karkat could keep pace with her. If he tired, she could carry him in his weapon form. They had both been busy this morning, but then again, they always seemed to keep themselves busy. At least now that they were both back on their feet, at any rate. Tempting as it might have been to leap through the trees, she stayed on the ground, focused on the mission. Much like the Maldives, the Congo reminded her entirely too much of Aiur. The humidity, the foliage and fauna and everything were not only comforting, but also provided a natural hunting ground for her. They might be walking into Witch territory, but she still had an advantage.
Her pace slowed when the ground evened out, looking almost like a lost path in all the plants and vines. She dropped down into a crouch and waited for Karkat, peering through the trees. The outpost was probably only a few hundred yards away, well hidden, and possibly occupied. The reports said most likely not, but there was no harm in being careful. Too many zerg had come up from underneath the ground for her to trust what was right in front of her.
“We are close. There is still the scent of them here.”
