The Skeleton Detective and his partner continued to examine their surroundings as carefully as they could, looking for any sign of… anything. So far all they could see where the trees and snow covered environment of the forest they were in. Valkyrie decided to bring up the tokens from before to break the silence.
”What do you think those tokens were for? That note said that we could use different amounts of tokens for different things to happen. Getting to one hundred seems to be what we’re after.””It seems to be that way. Almost like we are in some kind of game. And where there’s a game, there’s other players.” With that said, their new goal was to find anyone else that might be stuck in this place just like they were. Maybe they could find some answers but an ever growing feeling of unlikelihood for that was present in the back of Valkyrie’s mind.
Skulduggery could see the doubtfulness in Valkyrie about this whole situation. Tapping her playfully on the shoulder, he made sure to inspire her with his charismatic charm.
”Don’t worry about it too much, Valkyrie. We've been through far worse than this. We’ll find a way out. We always do, don’t we?” This had managed to lift Valkyrie’s spirits and now she wasn’t as unsure about their predicament.
Just then, Skulduggery managed to spot what looked like a large tower in the distance through the treeline. It stood out from the rest of the environment and Skulduggery thought that was a good a place as any to head towards. However, they only had the chance to take a few steps in the direction of the tower before they both spotted a group of people clad in white armour. These guys carried weapons with them and did not look all that friendly. Skulduggery and Valkyrie have been through encounters like this before and go to hide rather than draw attention to themselves. With any luck, they weren’t spotted. But they wouldn’t be afraid to fight back if they need to.
