Three days passed since Hal and Liora left the Root Hollow Camp and began making their way to the massive crater where Iridescent Willows were thriving and aplenty.
It would've usually taken them around four and a half days to arrive, but since they had already stayed in the runeforest for a while, the duo could claim they were quite familiar with the area and were able to move faster through parts where only monsters they could handle lived.
They returned to a slow and cautious pace only near the Burrow Camp, where they had rendezvoused after being chased and separated by the orc party.
Luckily, they didn't encounter any problems this time, though they certainly wouldn't be as helpless as they had been back then.
They soon arrived near the mound area.
Hal suddenly stopped at a somewhat bush-dense area, prompting Liora to do the same.
Their location couldn't be considered well-hidden, but it would do, since there were three of them anyway.
