Mountains

[Please note, Ezra and Colax have gone to the Shadow realm already, but I didn't include what happened there, as it was simply a sightseeing experience]

To get to the mountains, the group would have to pick a speed faster than walking, yet would not consume too much energy.

So they chose a jogging pace and went on their way. They headed out of the academy and into the city.

It took close to an hour before they made it out of the city and towards the forest, they kept discussions to a minimum to ensure they didn't waste energy.

On the way there, they passed other students that had stopped to rest, because they had rushed out at full speed, but it came back to bite them in the butt.

A steady pace was the key to running a marathon, nothing else, and that was what Ezra and the group were doing.

Steadily they made progress and were halfway to the mountains by noon, but they needed a rest, their bodies were on fire.
