The Archiverse world series

Story Resume: Camp Arc – Garrick's Recovery Squad

---

Scene: Dwarven Outpost – Late Afternoon

Garrick Ironhart, broom still clutched in hand and half a snack in his mouth, snapped to attention after Riven's order. With a sharp whistle and a comically over-serious salute, he dashed off across the field, clanking from his iron boots.

Plot Setup

Garrick leads them eastward into the deeper thickets, searching for Oliver, Zack, and Nico.

Rowin is mostly goofing off until Velindra forces him into tracking mode.

Bigfoot uses his enhanced senses to smell the traces of scorched ground—evidence of Nico's flames.

Darion begins recording the recovery mission for later edits—"missing party" drama arc.

Tension

As they reach the edge of the enchanted forest's border, Velindra halts.

> "The forest here isn't normal. There's warping... spatial inconsistency. Step wrong, and you might loop forever."

Rowin gulps and clutches his camera crystal.

> "Guys, we might actually get real content for once."

Bigfoot grunts and points ahead—he senses something… familiar. A dark thread left behind by Zack.

Optional Cliffhanger for Next Chapter:

As night approaches, the team steps into the forest, unaware that golden apples are blooming under the moonlight… and one of them isn't a fruit—but an ancient creature watching them from above.
