Arthur sat brooding besides the fire, Ram roasted some nuts on the embers and Princess Meena closed her eyes. The wind howled outside the small cavern they were in. Clearly the three of them were exhausted and cold. They huddled as close to the embers as they possibly could but it was too dangerous to light a heavy fire inside leat they suffocate. Ram looked at Carey and gave him some roasted peanuts which he took and stuffed in his mouth. Meena fell sound asleep by the fire. An hour went but the howling only became more intense.
"This is way worse than my last adventure in the sss!", remarked Carey.
"What is this sss, Sahib?" Ram asked naively.
"Oh, it's just a place, halfway across the world... Forests everywhere, dangerous animals, mosquitoes..." Carey replied staring at the fire.
