Horizon of Darkness

"Maybe we should visit the lighthouse?" suggested Faiblupp. "I don't particularly like them, but usually, the keepers not only have excellent eyesight but also know a lot. Although, it's not certain that he's seen much in these forests, especially on the edge of the world. And aren't lighthouses usually built near rivers?" - Zhele tried to recall all the lighthouses he had seen or heard about.

"The morning forest is still quite pleasant in the company of beautiful ladies. What do you say, Zhyzhych?" Zaykin tapped his bucket. "If you weren't such a whiner and a toxic person, you'd be enjoying it too. Want a pine cone? It seems to have some seeds inside," the warrior picked up a pine cone from the floor and offered it to the monarch. "It's probably good for you. Animals eat them, after all."

"You can't get full from a pine cone, as one of my human acquaintances used to say. She was always hanging around taverns, and in rather revealing attire," Faiblupp replied. "I don't know why she ate pine cones, but they really don't have many nutrients for such large creatures as us. As for the forest, it's no better than a morning dungeon or a night one..." - Zhele paused, lost in thought. "Or any other. It's almost always equally beautiful."
