"The path to it is a bit dangerous. We lost a friend when I was younger and lots of people got injured so I closed the path to it. The path is probably overgrown now. I don't know how he intends to find it." "Don't worry, I'm resourceful," Caden replied him. "Well, if you insist, who am I to stop you? Just bring her back safe." "One would think she's your mate and not mine." "Trust me, I still believe the goddess favours you a little too much.
