Camilla wasn't sure how it happened... But in the chaos that followed after the Sand Whale attack, she and Shayne had gotten separated! Least she got a interesting bit of Whale Fin from one of the villagers for her effort!

Camilla had started coming prepared, you never knew when you needed a bag of some kind! Her pockets were enchanted with a storage spell, but they could only hold so much... So, she started keeping a pouch in her pocket that also had a storage spell! It was this seafoam green silk pouch that the Dormouse ghoul pulled out to put her new Fin in. She didn't know what it was for, but if video games taught her anything, it was that you ALWAYS held onto items given to you via quests! You never know what use they might have later. And these reQUESTS she kept getting from the villagers sure reminded her of Quests...

With her Fin tucked away, the Dormouse ghoul did look for Shayne a bit. But when he was nowhere to be seen, she decides to just head back to town. Maybe he'd gone back, or maybe she'd find another adventure! It turns out it would be the latter!

She had barely set foot in the village, when a sad looking cloaked villager shuffled up to her. "Excuse me, miss? I'm in need of some assistance..." He says in a tone somewherr between sad and worried. "Hm? Sure! I'll help!" she hums as he approaches before replying cheerfully! Her cheerful demeanor and willingness to help seemed to cause the man to brighten up a bit. Nodding he goes on to explain what needed doing.

----

About a half an hour later, Camilla found herself at the base of a tall mountain. "The Wyvern Egg is at the very top miss... Please be careful... Many wild, and dare I say, aggressive minipets live on this mountain... Including the notorious Giant Snakes!" he warns. Frowning, she looks up at the natural pile of rock and dirt...

The man had informed her of a Wyvern nest with a egg in it. The parents of said egg had sadly passed and he wished her to fetch the egg. He mentioned they were quite tasty and he would have gotten it himself... But it was too dangerous a climb for him... Cringing at the thought of eating a Minipet egg, Camilla agrees anyway. While she didn't like to eat minipets, she couldn't deny that it would be such a waste to just let the egg rot...

After nodding to the man, the Dormouse ghoul rubs her hands together before beginning her climb. Was climbing a mountain like climbing a tree? She'd find out soon enough!

It was easy going at first, she just walked a good ways up the ever increasing incline. However, soon it started to get rockier and the incline steeper... She did see lot's of minipets along the way, many weren't so friendly however... Paranoid parental birds chased her away from unseen nests, venomless snakes struck at her threateningly from out under rocks, and even a few stranger things like dragons and... rams... have her a hard time...

Soon enough, she reached the actual climbing portion of the quest. It was pretty steep, but fortunately there was a lot of hand holds. "Ok! Let's go!" she shouts enthusiastically to herself before grabbing a hold and pulling herself up. The climb went really rather well actually! Mountain climbing wasn't like tree climbing, it was a whole different beast entirely she found! It was exciting and thrilling to be learning a new form of climbing! Occasionally she did get attacked by a flying minipet, plus once or twice her hold slipped and she nearly fell, but she was having a blast!

Finally, at long last, she reaches the top! Once she pulls herself onto the ledge, she just sits there with her feet dangling as she enjoys the view and takes a bit of a break. The view was spectacular from up here! And the air seemed so clean... It's no wonder the Wyverns nested up here! She had to admit though... It was a bit nippier then she would have liked... Still... she felt surprisingly fine! Her cold tolerance was clearly getting better!

Once she was done taking in the sights, she gets up and picks up the large egg. It was around headball sized and pretty easy to carry. Problem was... It was still alive... Normally that'd be a good thing but it meant her storage spell wouldn't work on it... So, she'd have to carry it by hand... Which meant she'd have to take the longer slower way...

Ah well, better get going!

With egg in hand, Camilla begins to head her way down the makeshift path. It was the easier way in that, you didn't have to climb a sheer wall yes, but took much longer... It also seemed to be more dangerous... Camilla remembered the quests from the Knight Dream clear as day. She knew what dangers could be on mountain paths...

That's why as she walked down the path, she kept the egg held close to her chest and kept her senses focused... And it was a good thing too! It seemed, that once the egg was out of the protected nest zone everything was after it! Rolling sand lobsters constantly tried to trip her, undead deer, which apparently were carnivorous, attacked her, and even a Giant Snake tried to get the egg from her!

Fortunately, she was able to escape it all with both her and the egg unscathed! However... Even as she got closer to the bottom... she felt like she was being watched... At first she thought she might just be being paranoid, but as she started seeing fast moving shadows out of the corner of her eyes she knew she wasn't! "Eep!" she squeaks as the creatures make their presence known!

With out warning, Camilla found herself suddenly surrounded by large raptor like minis! They jump out from the surrounding rocks, snapping their jaws and making odd communicational noises... All while looking at her egg... It soon became clear they weren't interested in her, but in her egg! "Hey! You can't have this! I got it fair and square!" she shouts to the minis with puffed up cheeks and a puffed up tail! The Raptors seemed less then impressed... Soon, the begin circling her like sharks, each of the four raptors were looking for a opening as they did.

Camilla clutched the egg close as she looks at her hungry ambushers. She knew they'd likely either come at her from all sides or try and distract her... She remembered what the Raptor Shadowlings had been like... But these were just large Minipets... Were they as strong or cunning? She was about to find out! Suddenly, seeing that she was lost in thought for a monent, one lunges at her! "Eep! Oh no you don't!" She shouts determinedly as she twists around to avoid the beast's snapping jaws and scratching claws! She also made it too! However, the raptor's claws just barely nicked the egg! Unfortunately for the raptor, it lunged too far and smashes into a nearby rock!

"Whoa! That was close!" she exclaims before quickly taking stock of the situation. The circle was broken now! She needed to flee! And that's just what she did! Though not before a raptor nicked the egg with a tooth on the way by! The Dormouse ghoul was running as fast as she could down the steep incline, but the raptors weren't just catching up they were keeping up! She had to admit though, this was a thrilling chase! Dodging rocks and raptors both, one raptor nicked the egg slightly on a lunge! Mercifully, it didn't get a very good hit on the egg!

Finally, she was nearing the bottom! Many of the raptors had given up but some still doggedly chased her. However, it looked like she'd be in the clear! That was at least, until a raptor jumped out right in front of her near the bottom with claws and jaw spread wide! "Eek!" she half squeaks half yelps before trying to skid to a stop! Unfortunately, with her momentum she just couldn't stop! The raptor hadn't been expecting this itself and realizes this moments too late!

After closing it's jaws and trying to turn tail, Camilla smacks soundly into the beast! Not before she whirls around so her back faced the raptor however. They both go tumbling a good ways and in the chaos the egg got nicked by a claw! Luckily it didn't break somehow. Finally, once the pare came to rest in a heap at the bottom, the Dormouse ghoul quickly untangles herself and runs off with egg in hand leaving very unhappy raptors!

When at long last she gets back to the village, she hands the egg over to the eagerly waiting villager. "Huff... huff... Y-you weren't kidding about the minipets... huff... huff..." she says breathlessly as she stands bent over with her hands on her knees. While happy to have the egg, the man did seem concerned about her. "Are you alright miss?" he asks tentatively. "Y-yeah... Huff... huff... I ran into some raptors... Huff huff... But I got away... Phew..." she explains before she finally catches her breath. "My! You ran into those lot!? And you got away! I must say, well done miss!" he says in surprise before patting her on the back in congratulations. "Well, now, if you'll excuse me... Oh! Wait! Here! For your troubles!" the cloaked man says ready to pardon himself until she remembers something.

Quickly, he digs through his pockets until he pulls out a small egg. "This is a Herbivore Egg! I've no use for it so mayhaps you might find some use for it!" He says cheerfully before handing it off to the blinking Dormouse ghoul. For a moment, she just blinks curiously at the egg in her hands before smiling brightly at him. "Thank you!" she chirps happily!
