Romania turned her attention to the travelers. Sleep was a vulnerable state, and she wanted to keep them safe.

Dawne rolled her eyes. "Rhys must have his reasons," she said. "Let's get what rest we can."

"Voja, Sojourn, keep watch." Rhys commanded before closing his eyes.
Evriya crawled next to her sister, unrolled a big blanket from the top of her backpack and pulled it on both of them. "Good night, sis." she whispered before closing her eyes sleeping in moments. Rhys opened his eyes after a moment thinking about the events of the day. Finally he too closed his eyes and fell asleep. The wolves woke them up the next morning. The sun was high up already so it was closer to noon. "Why didn't you wake us earlier?" Rhys asked although he wasn't particularly upset. "You needed the rest." Sojourn said calmly. "I suppose you're right." Rhys said sighing. Today they would be going to one of the Highland towns. And those could be dangerous. |

Dawne yawned as she got up.
"Mm...okay," she said. "Where to today, Rhys?" She was hardly a morning person. On their previous journey together, Rhys had seen her after she had woken up properly. No such luck today. She looked half asleep...and...cute in a way. |

Rhys looked at Dawne. Cute. he thought. It took him a while to clear that thought and focus on the tasks of the day.
"Um, we'll be going to a town today. Or rather through it. The town is full of adventurers, planeswalkers trying to prove themselves, criminals and worse. So, be careful." he said. |

"What are planeswalkers?" Dawne asked, slowly waking up. She pulled a brush out of her pack, ignoring the looks she got as she pulled out a mirror
and started brushing her hair.
A girl had to LOOK good, after all. |

"You are." Rhys said.
"Excuse me?" Evriya asked. "We call planeswalkers people who can travel between dimensions and worlds." Rhys said. "They come here because of the ruins and chaotic mana. Think that they increase their power or something." He snorted. "And they get proven wrong everytime" |

Dawne blinked. "You mean people come to this chaotic place to seek power?" she asked. "Idiots, I can tell the mana here is more likely to kill
you than make you stronger."
She shook her head. "Anyway, let's move." |

"I'm going to eat something first." Evriya said. "You said it's stabler ground so we can have breakfast right?"
"Alright." Rhys said. "Aren't you going to eat something?" Evriya asked and frowned. "I don't see you carrying any sort of supplies." "Thus we are going to that town." Rhys said shrugging. |

Dawne paused. "Hey, Rhys," she said, smiling, "where did you say your favourite food grew?"
She remembered their conversation where she learned about him. That, she supposed, was when she started falling for him. Maybe, she wasn't exactly sure. |

"The berries? Closer to the Low Lands." Rhys said.
"You're welcome to join us. We can share from our supplies." Evriya said. Rhys shrugged and went to sit down with them. |

Dawne nodded and sat down, getting food out of her back. Dried fruit, mostly, because normal fruit would have gone rotten sooner orl later.
"How long of a walk is it to this town?" she asked. "I don't mind a long walk, but this world seems seriously dangerous, even if you know what you're doing." >>> An overly cheerful Romania appeared before the demonic elf. "Well, you made it here. Happy?" she asked, smiling. "Not quite what you expected, is it?" |

"About couple of hours." Rhys said.
Evriya took bread from her backpack. It had been already sliced into pieces. She took one piece and handed the package to Dawne. "How long we have to travel before we can portal back to Jirakae?" Evriya asked. "Depends. The chaotic mana is a little like a wind. It can come as storms or it can be completely calm. So, I'd say from four days to a week." Rhys said shrugging. >>>> "Get lost!" The demon elf grunted. His clothing was torn and he looked exhausted. He started making his way towards a town he could see nearby. |

Dawne blinked. "Really? Wow," she said. "Chaotic world, this."
She took a piece of bread and handed the package to Rhys. "What are the wolves going to eat?" >>> Romania snickered and vanished. |

"They ate yesterday so they're fine." Rhys said.
He took a piece of bread and handed the package back to Evriya who wrapped it and put it back in her backpack. "Looks like you know this world pretty well." Evriya said to Rhys who nodded. "I've traveled around Kaior few times." he said. |

Dawne was very happy to be with Rhys again, but...
"You're never going to be very talkative, are you?" |
||||
|
|

"Probably not." Rhys said shrugging.
"You'll just have to change him then." Evriya said smiling widely. Rhys sweatdropped. "Anyway, that's enough breakfast. Lets go." he said getting up and walking to the cave entrance. Evriya shrugged and packed her backpack walking outside soon after him. |

Dawne shrugged and packed her backback and shouldered it, following Rhys. She hurried and walked next to him, slipping her hand through his.
"We don't have to worry about being attacked by anything, do we?" she asked, glancing at him. |

"We can be." Rhys said. "But probably not. I think we just have to worr--"
He stopped listening intently. The wolves did the same sniffing the air. Then they saw a dust cloud in the distance. "Oh, hell." Rhys swore. "It's a frenzied Ravasaur herd! They're trample us if we stay here. You two, on the wolves. We'll need to move fast." "What are Ravasaurs?" Evriya asked. "They're big lizards. Herbivores, move in huge packs. Very hard to spook but once something manages to scare them, they're almost unstoppable." "Hurry! On my back." Sojourn said walking to Evriya. Voja walked to Dawne only too eager to get a move on. "Head to that floating island! Hopefully it's stable enough!" Rhys said. |

Dawne didn't argue. This was Rhys' world, he would know the dangers.
She jumped onto Voja's back. "Right," she said. "Let's get moving!" I just had to open my big mouth! |

The herd got closer and it was a big one. Going to the floating island for safety sounded like a pretty good idea. Rhys took two hooks with ropes attached to
them and as they got closer to the island, threw the hooks right up. The task seemed impossible but somehow the hooks flew right up to the small island and
grabbed onto the stones.
"Right, up you go. I trust you know how to climb?" he asked. "Of course." Evriya said climbing up the rope like an expert. Rhys turned to Dawne. "You next." The herd was getting closer. Voja let Dawne off his back and then both wolves vanished in a small gust of air. |
