The three of them stayed at an inn for the night before finally heading out to cross the border into the country of Mur. They set off in a wagon that was actually owned by Katsumi. Roth wanted to take the reins and drive while Katsumi and Mina catch up. They both were smiling and giggling nonstop of the whole ride. Mina was ecstatic telling her all the training and adventures she's had with Roth so far. Roth can feel the smug look Katsumi is giving to him when she explained on the whole brother and sister situation. He can only blush as he can feel her eyes piercing him. Katsumi was enthralled on what Mina had to do for training. Mina was still squeamish explaining on how healing Roth many times was to perfect her healing speed and effectiveness.

Katsumi explained after that they were set free, they banded together and now work as an independent group, to free as many slaves of their kind and more from the Fidelity. It was all thanks to Roth who gave them that spark of hope to the demi humans that they have the courage to fight and stand up against these monsters. She also heard on what had happened at Ezhine and knew that it wasn't just some freak animal calamity. Mina was in complete awe knowing she was fighting against them as well.

"So tell me, what make you so sure about that the fidelity is at this mountain?"

"Before I passed out from defeating those wyverns, I heard a voice call to me saying I was worthy. After that I had some sort of out of body experience and was on top of some snowy mountain. It was very vague on where to find him, but the one clue he did give was that the sky was emerald green. And apparently the sky does turn green near that mountain."

"Hmmm well it will be tough because the snowiest part of the mountain is near the top of the peak and that mountain isn't exactly a walking distance hike."

"What do you mean?"

"It's a long and I mean loooooong hike. There's no official trail and the mountain stretches as far as the eye can see. The road that enters to the country is the only road connecting the two countries the mountain is basically a giant natural fort wall. We can stop at the nearest town and get some supplies and hike from there."

Roth was a little disappointed and uneasy hearing how big the mountain actually is, but to get answers, he has to climb it. They finally made their way to a small little town just off the beaten path. There were mix of human, beastmen and demi humans alike together, all unified together just like at the border city. They made their way into the small general good stores and got all the gear they need. Camp supplies, extra food, and warm fur gear for the snow. After all of their preparations Mina and Katsumi wait outside for Roth to finish up with any last minute supplies.

"Excuse me sir do you happen to send mail by any chance?"

The man at the counter was a tall demi human with high fox ears with orange red hair. He wore an elegant yet modest clothing for a shop keeper.

"Why of course young man, I can have it send out as soon as you need it."

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

"That be much appreciated, thank you. Also, I would like to buy these two from you please."

He places two hunting bows onto the counter and with it, a small pouch of money. The shop keep happily accepts as he empties out the bag to count the money only to be in total shock to see gold.

"Wait wait wait wait hold on! All the gear and with this is fifty silvers. This is twenty gold pieces!"

"Don't worry about that, think of it as a tip for helping me out and sending that letter. You have a good day."

Roth waves as he steps with all the gear out only for the shop keeper to wave in utter confusion. He places the items in the wagon and was interrupted by a question from Katsumi.

"You got two bows? What do you need them for?" She giggles softly.

"Well if the Fidelity is up there and if there is a lot of snow, I want to fight covertly and try not to use any magic that could cause a damn avalanche on us. That's the last thing I want for us to happened."

Katsumi leans against the wagon and nods in approval.

"Smart, really smart. I didn't think of that if we were fighting up in snow."

"You always got to be prepared for anything right? Expect the unexpected."

Katsumi looked down and let his words soaked into her mind.

"Are we all set big brother!" She jumps in anticipation.

"Yup, all set. We'll drive up off the road so we can secure the wagon and put the horse in a nearby stable. Katsumi knows where to keep the horse safe."

They did their final errands and are ready to set onto the climb. They each had their own large buschcraft backpack while Katsumi and Roth slung their bows around their shoulders. Since the town was near the base of the mountain, it was easy to start the climb. Roth was sweating since it was still warm as well as the others. The rocks were jagged and uneven. And the mountain seemed to stretch for miles across. It almost didn't feel like they were climbing a mountain. It was more like an uneven long hill. For hours they have been trekking through the mountain and they've gotten some good ground cover. The air became chilly with each passing step. Soon snow began to appear in patches around them. Now just over some few hills, large mountains can be seen, and snow is finally covering them.

They found a spot that was unusually flat, almost like a small manmade camp site.

"Alright, we can stop and make camp here, we still got a few more hours left." As Katsumi said with exhaustion.

"Oh thank heavens, I'm dying. I can barely feel my feet!" As Mina shouted with great discomfort. Roth sat up against a rock and took a moment to catch his breath.

"Yeah, lets rest for the night and recharge, it's almost getting dark." Mina laid on her side on the dirt ground not caring if she gets dirt in her hair. Katsumi already gathered the surrounding wood to make a firepit and set up the tent they will be sleeping in. Roth Helped her set up but immediately sat back down against the rock.

"I'm just going to close my eyes for a bit, okay? Just need a little power nap..."

Katsumi agreed and let Roth doze off. After some time has passed Roth can feel something shoving him.

"Big brother wake up! Wake up! You need to see this!"

Roth still half asleep, rubs his eyes to look what was happening. His face brightens up in disbelief as he slowly got up from his resting rock. The night has already set in, and no moons were out tonight, but the sky was filled with even something more amazing. The entire sky stretched out with giant bright emerald lights that moved fluently as if they were swimming in water. The sky glowed vibrantly as the stars shine through their fluent lights.

"I got to hand it to you Roth. At least you figured out what the emerald color was hehe." Katsumi chuckles as she continued to stare into the sky. Mina held his arm and pointed at the sky smiling at the lights. She has never seen anything more beautiful than ever before. And Roth was also stunned by its beauty lighting the entire night sky. All he can do was stare and be mesmerized by its beauty, shining down against the white snow of the mountains.
