The small group caught up to Drachon and the human, who started talking immediately upon their arrival. He was right not to waste any time; the barrier Farish had put up would not last much longer. The boy held out his arm and Chizu leapt off Drachon to perch on it.<br/><br/>"A goblin forest..." Farish muttered, smiling slightly. "This will be just like old times, right, Chizu?" The Wind Sprite made a sound like aggressive purring; she had a thing against goblins, after they got her bound and surrounded in the woods and were planning to eat her or something. Farish had stepped in and saved her and that was how they'd met. As long as goblins were all they had to worry about, a trip through the woods wouldn't be so bad. But Farish had a sneaking suspicion they'd be receiving more company along the way.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #00FFFF">"Aitsu o <span style="text-decoration: underline">kamitsuku</span> iru zo! ((I'm gonna <span style="text-decoration: underline">bite</span> them!))"</span></span>Chizu purred in response, excited at a chance for revenge.<br/><br/>Farish chuckled and set the Sprite up on his shoulders. "If we see any," he said, dashing off to follow the human man. He was fast, but at least the boy kept him in sight. He wasn't a marathon runner, but he at least had some Elven agility in him.
