After the woman who Lightning had just named "Drow" in her head showed up, the group could finally leave. They actually took a different way than Aaron did, because the trading route was to the west while his destination was towards the south. As they walked, Lightning described the route and where the enemy was mainly stationed. They would first find themselves walking through the Indu Forest, and once they made it through they would reach a path that would eventually lead them to the White Mountains path. The only way walkable path through the mountains was narrow and it was easy to trap those trying to bring shipments to the kingdom.<br/><br/>It was a three day walk to the mountains, and she was sure that they would be attacked before they even got to the forest. Bandits that had no particular allegiance to anyone but themselves were also a threat. Either way, at least they were out in the open and could spot their enemy way before they could get a sneak attack on them. There was a naked tree here and there, but nothing that would provide sufficient cover for anyone trying to ambush them. "We will reach the forest by nightfall...We will stop and make camp there." Lightning told the group after some time of walking. It was a bit awkward. Since she didn't know any of them, and none of them knew each other, there was nothing but silence the entire time. She was used to being quiet, but...she was also used to hearing others talk on her travels. While them bonding wasn't entirely important, it was a bit boring not hearing a conversation or two from anyone. Yet she didn't really have the energy to start one herself.
