As the topic slowly switched from rumours to facts, most of the younger hunters went quiet, as the older hunters debated the utility of various trails, and the perks of each. One with harsher climbing, but crossing three streams along the way, and a small glade that was good for rest and deer. Another was an easy walk, but only crossed one stream, and the ground tended to be too damp for camping or even taking a break, but with more opportunity for wild fowl.

They asked, vaguely, about the men, and about the fighting, about the size of the castle, and what the Necromancer's treasure-room looked like.<br/><br/>The night grew later, and their questions became incessant; the topic was almost impossible to steer back toward discussing the forest and its' potential dangers; instead, the men were fixated on glory, and the far-off city of Midgar.
