Soulspire Temple sounded like at least the place they needed to get to rather than going to Verrune by foot. She explained what the Manastream was and honestly he could equate it to something similar to the bullet trains of his own world. He suspected however this Manastream was much faster if a touch unusual in the fact you can wind up in the wrong place. Either way it beats walking and during the trek he kept silent as he was munching on a single pretzel of his own. Yes it was a day old treat by my god it was still so soft and deliciously salty. The black pepper mixes well and it took him a full minute or two with each bite trying to savor it and because it was so chewy he had to work it over with his teeth. The buttery taste was delicate on his tongue and every morsel left him wanting more. He would need to savor these and save them for when they were truly needed. Still with a bit of sustenance in him for breakfast he was ready for whatever came his way next… or at least he hoped he was.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Walking on for so long was a new one on Madison as his legs burned with the need to rest and he could see why these blasted Manastreams were so sought for. They made traveling much less of a hassle and furthermore it wouldn't take as long. Madison just looked spent like he hadn't done stuff like this before on this scale.<strong>"Not to be an old hat but… are we there yet!?"</strong>He said for the first time with a sense of irony to his voice. Of course the answer to that was a resounding no which got an aggravated groan from him. However it appears something else took offense to Madison's newfound sense of complaining as a loud roar came from somewhere. This made his hairs stand on end and him suddenly forget complaining. Then some kind of freakish looking rhino came out of the shadows and straight at him!<br/><br/>He would have happily turned back the way he could but the rhino's initial appearance made short work of running in that direction as Aria and the three men were cut off from each other. The fact that apparently there were dangerous monsters and so forth was something that he saw coming but<em>really</em>hoped he didn't have to! Weapons made of purple energy were oven to the three of them compliments of Aria though he still would have preferred actual magic over something like this! He didn't have to be a genius to know standing there and trying to take down a<em>Charging Rhino</em>was something he could not do and as such he started running away trying to juke and jive that Rhino and avoid getting gored, trampled and any other spectrum of pain and agony his mind could come up with!
