Breaking through the curtains of vines and intertwined stalks was tiring, especially when I had to fight through the boggy soil that was weighing down my feet. I was near my physical limit, so I decided to take a drink and a bite of biscuit. It was then when I suddenly heard some rustling from the shrubs as I was taking out my supplies.
