Throngar gave 'hmph', but then relented. "Yes, alright, I suppose you've earned a brief break," he conceded. "We'll take ten minutes out, then start again." He trooped over to a nearby rock and sat down upon it, breathing steadily. Fortunately for Jinx, the path ahead of them, which wound up around the sharply rising hills up into the mountains, actually looked fairly shallow for the next stretch; clearly they'd just done the hard part.

Jinx collapsed on the ground where she stood and panted. She took a deep breathe looked at the path head, "Not long now," she said with a sigh of relief, until she looked back, "And we have to run that..again,"

"We're about halfway, I'd say," Throngar told Jinx. "Although the uphill bits which are left aren't too bad, and there are downhill bits too." He then smirked. "But yes, you'll have to run it back, whilst carrying any shopping you get."

Jinx groaned as she stood up. "fine, let's go" she began running towards the town.

"That's the spirit," Throngar laughed, jogging on up behind her and casually taking the lead again. "Come on! Only about an hour or so's run left to go!"

After a while, the town appeared in the horizon. Jinx was excited, she could finally rest and get something to eat and drank.

"Alright!" Throngar declared triumphantly. "All downhill from here! We'll sprint the final stretch!" And with that, he set off at a redoubled pace.

"How can a dwarf run so fast?" Jinx asked no one in particular. She caught up with Throngar, just barely, as they approached the town.

"How can an elf run so slow?" was Throngar's whip-fast retort, smirk on his bearded visage as he half-looked back at Jinx. "Come on! Don't lag behind!"

Hitomi follwed Jinx and Throngar to the town so that she could show them how skillfully fast and silent she is at following people without them knowing about it.

Jinx quickly caught up to him, "Quit being so mean," she told Throngar.

Luna sat on a rock that was in the center of the only river in a small town called Incharia. Her pale skin almost glittered in the sunlight and her long straight icy blue hair danced in the wind. "aren't you lonely here by yourself?" she asked the river in a quiet sweet voice that almost sounded like singing eyeing the view with her icy cold eyes.

"I'm not being mean, just practical," Throngar defended himself blithely as they approached the town of Icharia, nestled in a little rare green valley on either side of a minor river. "After all, you never know when you might be followed, so you may as well make life as difficult for your pursuers as possible." He then raised his voice and shouted over his shoulder, "Isn't that right, ninja?"

"Ninja?!" Jinx quickly put her guard up and looked off into the distance and noticed Hitomi. "Oh, it's just her," 'That chick Bryce was with,' Jinx didn't hate Hitomi, she just didn't like her because she thought that she was "with" Bryce.

Luna heard the footsteps of 3 people getting closer and she listened closing her eyes "a human, an elf and a dwarft..." she said to herself and opened her eyes "how rare.." she stood up on the rock and then saw the three getting closer.
