As they make their way back to the library which Adamar saw in his dream, he started to notice a few things that feel like he has been there before. From noticing the small chip in the pavement to noticing more details like the direction that they need to go based on a maple tree's position.
“Do you remember any of this hun?” Menzost asks while Adamar is eyeing the surroundings.
“They do.” Adamar begins to think about the tree. “I think there's a tree that we need to find. It's a maple I know that but I don't know which one.” He says this while he starts walking to the treeline of the forest in which he finds a couple of maple trees.
“It has to be one of these but I don't know which one, we could go left, right, or straight. Why the fuck can't I remember.” Adamar exclaims as he hits himself on the head.
“Hun don't fucking do that. That won't help anything. Why don't we just sit down and take a couple of breaths until we can decide which way we have to go?” Menzost holds Adamars hands as they lower their bodies to the ground sitting across from each other.
“It's okay. Just take some deep breaths and we can figure this out. We got this hun.” Menzost says while staring at Adamar. “I love you and nothing will ever stop that. If you can't figure it out by yourself, I'm here; and I always will be.”
“I know that babe. I just don't understand why I could remember those things but not one simple detail.” Adamar feels as if he has disappointed his husband but he knows that isn't true.
“You know that no matter what I'll be here hun, whether you want it or not. I am going to stand by your side.” Menzost says as he starts to see tears forming in Adamars eyes. “It's okay hun, trust me we can get through this together.”
“I know babe I just feel like I am letting Gascon down cause I can't remember where we need to go,” Adaram says as he's fighting the tears in his eyes.
“Lets get up and find Gascon there has to be some indication of where we need to go” Menzost gets up and gives his husband a kiss before Adaram gets up.
As they are investigating the treeline, Adaram notices a small footpath with a single set of footprints and pawprints.
“Hey Babe! I think I found something.” Adamar yells over to Menzost who is a couple of trees away.
“What's up hun?” asks Menzost as he walks over to Adamar, “Holy shit you found it. Look at you!” he exclaims making Adamars self-esteem rise ever so slightly.
“I think we should head this way. It's the only way that looks walkable so there's a good chance both Iden and Gascon are this way.” Adamar heads down the path through the tree line into the dense forest.
As they trek the narrow path, they take in all the wildlife that surrounds them which includes a variety of birds, and small mammals, and they even caught a glimpse of a baby owlbear in the distance by a small lake. They did not dare go to bother it as where there is a baby there is always a mother.
No matter where they stepped, there was always a branch underneath their feet to snap and scare off any wildlife around them. As they approached a clearing they notice a river in which is flowing through the center. On the opposite side stands a small shack, it has smoke coming from the top chimney as if someone was home.
“How the hell are we going to get across this river without getting our clothes soaked babe?” Adamar asks Menzost who is already stripping down to nothing.
“This is how hun,” as he takes off his final piece of undergarments and balls up the dry clothes, and throws it across the river untouched by the water.
“Babe! Someone might see you cover up” Adamar exclaims as Menzost is already racing towards the water.
“C'mon hun, we have to have at least a little fun during all this” Menzost yells at Adamar who is finally stripping down. As he prepares to throw his clothes, something scares him and he drops it at his feet. He tries again and this time he makes the throw and his clothes are successfully saved.
“See now you got the hang of it,” Menzost says as Adamar is preparing to join him in the river.
“This water fucking cold!”Adamar exclaims thinking about how his body is going to turn bright red from the cold, he isn't very fond of ice-cold water.
As Adamar jumps in, he makes a loud squealing sound due to the cold nature of the water. By this time Menzost is already at the other side sunbathing in his nudity to dry off before putting his clothes back on.
“Are you coming, slowpoke?” Menzost asks as Adamar is only halfway through the river shivering.
“I'm going it's just too goddamn cold! Holy shit!” Adamar screams as he trips and falls into the frigid water. “I hate this so much!” he exclaims once he regains his footing and climbs up the bank of the river to join Menzost to dry off.
“I can't wait to get back into my clothes babe, I'm too cold,” Adamar says while sitting up and looking at Menzosts naked physique.
“Well you can always come to cuddle me, hun, I like the cold, and I'm hot.” Menzost moves closer to Adamar as an invitation. They lay there drying off, cuddling, naked together until they are both fully dry.
“Alright babe, I think we're both dry. Let's get some clothes on and explore this hut.” Adamar says getting up to grab his and Menzosts clothes.
As they both dress they prepare to enter the hut. As they reach for the handle they notice a handprint all too familiar with them. A Blue Handprint.
