"Wow!" Aphmau said dumbfounded as she looked around the large amount of land, to the right of her she could see the glimpse of a winter wonderland. To her left seemed to be the Plains land which was head to toe with various animals she's never seen. Then straight ahead was what seemed to be a mountain biome.

"You actually never been outside of Oakasis?" Garroth asked surprised at Aphmau's excitement. "Couldn't you leave whenever you wanted to?"

Aphmau's cheeks flushed slightly as she turned her head slightly and smiled towards Garroth. "Well yeah. I would have left a long time ago."

"So what persuaded you into staying, when you would have left?" Garroth asked confused.

Aphmau's smile only became softer and her eyes looked at him calm and sweetly. "You came."

Garroth felt his face heat up at her words as she immediately began to admire their surroundings as they steadily rode along the rocky trail.

...

"Its getting late lets set up." Garroth suggested as he halted Kuma then clime off to reach supplies for food.

"Alright." He could hear Aphmau with the sound of ruffling leaves behind her voice.

Pulling out a set of food to roast over a fire, (I know its not fancy, but how do rich son of lords eat while traveling?) He walked over to the front of the camp.

"A- Aphmau?" Garroth looked around with no trace of his friend. He hesitantly looked around for any signs of danger that Aphmau could have gotten into.

"Boo!" All of a sudden Aphmau hung upside-down on tree, in front of Garroth with a playful look on her face.

"Ah! A- Aphmau! You scared me! I thought bandits came and took you!" Garroth said.

"Geez, get a sense of humor ya weirdo!" Aphmau answered poking Garroths nose with her pinky finger. "Lets just get a fire up already!"

Aphmau jumped out of the tree with no problem at all and started collecting twigs and red pine needles.

Garroth set the set of food aside and began to look for logs and any possible thing that could be used as a fuel source.

"Do you have enough fuel?" Garroth asked as he carried small pieces of logs.

"Well I have a pile of pine needles and twigs right there." She answered as she pointed to a small pile of red pine needles.

"Well then lets start a fire." He said smiling as he took a lighter and gathered the materials to set it ablaze.

"Lets eat and gets some rest, we should arrive at Meteli by tomorrow." He said as he threw the small firry stick into to the set of logs and everything lit into a perfect surrounding of light.
