The journey toward the Snow Lion Tribe began smoothly, with Kellen naturally expecting Aurora to ride upon his back whenever the terrain became difficult and Elixir occasionally offering to carry her in his enormous phoenix form whenever they needed to cover greater distances.
Yet after traveling for several hours, Aurora suddenly asked them to stop. The request immediately caught everyone's attention. Kellen turned his head toward her, while Elixir's eyes narrowed with curiosity and Zale silently waited for an explanation.
Aurora glanced toward the dense forest surrounding them before shaking her head. "I want to walk for a while."
Kellen frowned as he looked at their surroundings. "We are still a few hours away. Why do you want to take a walk here? Something interesting caught your attention?"
