The more Isil ran the further it seemed his target to be. The creature ran faster than him that was for sure and he wouldn't catch it just by running. He had to be smarter if he wanted to catch it in time. He had but half a candlemark now, maybe some more if the Hunter took some time to reach him. Anyway it wasn't much. And he was getting deeper and deeper in the forest, he ran and he jumped fallen trees until he lost trace of the forest trail.
He was in a small clearing, but the trees were so thick here that there wasn't much light to see. He had to choose a path now. He could head back and face his destiny, he could go forward and go ever deeper in the woods, or he could turn right and try to reach a stone structure some one hundred yards to his right.
What would he choose?
