Chapter 38: Scout

As the party pushes deeper into the wilderness, three days of quiet travel along the river bring both routine and tension. Kenshiro does his best to contribute, mostly through chores, but the mental weight of what lies ahead refuses to let up. Between burned rations, shadow-familiar patrols, and unspoken mistrust, a fragile rhythm sets in. Korren scouts, Yula watches, Fel'Tal commands, and Kenshiro… learns.

But solitude breeds introspection. Kenshiro begins experimenting with the more unsettling facets of his class, testing the limits of surveillance magic that lets him see without being seen. At night, an invisible eye watches over him. By day, doubt creeps in, not just from within, but from his companions. Can they trust his story? Can he? A glowing core, a pointed question, and a flicker of belief… or disbelief… reveal just how precarious faith can be on the road to the unknown.
