Emrin was grateful to have someon like Elric to take command of the situation. She found an empty table and spread open the map. Their current location was shown with 6 small purple dots clustered in the town. Most likely, the enchantment worked by tracking their ID plates. An X was marked at the top of Mount Ethilikon. Emrin couldn't hide her surprised. Although currently closed for the winter, in the summer months, the mountain was a popular tourist destination. None of the trails led the peak, but it was still incredible that the relic had only been recently discovered.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#5d588a">"The stone is on the top of Mount Ethilikon."

They didn't believe the government could do something like this without the people knowing, even if Amoni was on the edges of the country.<br/><br/>Emrin rolled up the map and tucked it into her robes. She walked over to Helena and began helping her rifle through the bag,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#5d588a">"What are you looking for? We have to leave soon."</span>
