After a couple of hours of moving through the new forest he had found himself in, Liam had finally managed to locate a place he could use as a temporary base.
Or perhaps even a shelter for the remainder of the assessment if things worked in his favor.
Far away from the wide river and much deeper within the forest, Liam had come across a massive rocky outcrop rising from the earth like the exposed spine of some long-buried beast.
The formation itself towered over the surrounding terrain, its jagged stone surfaces uneven and weathered by time. Sharp rocks jutted outward at different angles while thick roots from nearby trees wrapped around portions of the stone like giant veins. The terrain surrounding the outcrop was rough as well, filled with steep inclines, loose stone, and uneven footing that naturally discouraged movement through the area.
Even the forest around it had changed slightly.
