Chapter 4: The Journey's End

Before long we'd tossed out the last of the cakes, though a great number of Goblins were still hot on our heels.

Just as we started to panic all over again, we heard the distinct sounds of people not far from us. We quickly weighed our options and fled in the direction of the voices.

As we got closer, the sounds of steel weapons clattering also reached our ears.

We soon reached a narrow mountain path where we were met by an armed group carrying torches who quickly halted the Goblins' pursuit.

Burr ended up lecturing us for hours on our recklessness, but that night in the quarry was far from our last escapade.

Together, Tara and I have explored many mines and faced countless dangers together.

Even when our adventures end with lectures, one shared look is all it takes for us to set off and do it all over again.

After all, this world is still full of surprises.

(As you close the book you picture Jessie in her youth and find yourself surprised that Tara was so equally bold and impulsive then.)
