The beginning of the journey was the easiest, a mountain climb to get a better vantage point. All of the villages in the area were built in valley's along rivers. Both so they had a source of fish and also to get a shield against the freezing winds. Being harder to spot by the giant predators was an added benefit. When she reached the peak of the highest mountain nearby Yuriko saw that the range continued for miles upon miles. Her eyes could make out the slight wisps of smoke that told of fires in a few of the distant ranges along with a few paths for her to continue.<br/><br/>The first was to stay on the tops of the mountains. Given how the range was it wouldn't be difficult to stay high up which would give her a great viewpoint over the land. However, anyone perceptive enough would also be able to spot the Lunar as easily as she could them. She could also drop down and move along the valleys. The range winded around and it would be just as easy to keep low as to stay high up. Lastly she could search out the subterranean passages. The North was littered with caves and there was a vast underground network that stretched all over it. No one was sure what make the cavern systems, but they were obviously not natural. Dangerous beasts lurked beneath the ground, but so did settlements that found an entrance near a supply of water.
