Hope in the Hills.

 After restoring my health, I returned and defeated the spirit and creature that killed me earlier. I then headed northwest, as the dying lady had instructed, fighting through more creatures on the way. At the top of a tall ladder, I discovered survivors hiding at the entrance of another mine. After speaking with the survivors, I entered the mine but found a locked gate.    I came back with full health, and this time I went for the spirit and the creature, and I showed them who is the boss. I killed both of them mercilessly.   Do you remember a dying lady asking me to go for the people who fled over the northwest over the hill? Yes, I was going over that side this time but there were some creatures on my way that I took down with pleasure.   This game tried hard to give its players goosebumps, leaving creatures on every lane who'd spook you suddenly out of nowhere, like this one. But I noticed from afar, and I took it down easily.   After taking down the creatures on my way, I found this big ladder that I had to climb up without knowing what was actually awaiting me ahead.  And I found some peoples, alive peoples, who had a camp there, at the entrance of another mine. I was hoping there won't be any creatures inside that mine and there are peoples there. I talked to those peoples.  That's Alvan and Esther Voss who fled from Jova when they heard the Asterian army was approaching. They left everything behind, even their poor dog, the dog that I noticed with the On soldiers at Jova.  There was this kid, Dag, who escaped from Skell when the bad men took her mama into the barn. And there was Mrs. Kos, who found the kid. She's very nice, but she's sick. The kid was watching Mika, the child of Mrs. Kos, for her. Kos talked about her medication that she needed badly and I found it on my way so I gave it to her and she was grateful having her medications.   After talking to them, I went inside the mine, hoping there weren't any creatures around, and I didn't find one. But I found this gate that was locked from the other side, so I couldn't get into there.  Well, I went back to the open sides and went for this timeloop, where I tried to enter, but like the one before, this one also warned me that this is too dangerous to enter, and I didn't have an option to enter. We'll continue in another post. --- **Thanks for reading. If you like my post, please follow, comment and upvote me.
