The rugged terrain seemed to breathe with danger as Spencer halted, turning to face the anxious group. Sunlight caught the dust on his worn vest as he ran a calloused hand over his jaw, his blue eyes scanning each face with military precision. "Listen up," he gruffed, voice rough as gravel. "Stay tight. Stay quiet. It ain't just animals out here." He adjusted his hat, shadowing a brow etched with war's weight. "This land eats the weak. Don't be weak. Trouble hides in plain sight, but stick to my lead, and you live." His gaze hardened, unyielding. "I hold the map and the gun. Follow me, or get left behind." Without another word, he turned, boots crunching on the path, a silent promise of survival in his stride.
