Friends

Alex wasn't sure if he could take advantage of the generosity the woman —if she was one— showed. It was clear that she ruled these mountains, and from what she said, she was lonely too. She had been waiting for people to come visit her for a long time.

"These mists, are you the one making them by any chance?" Alex asked the woman as they began walking. 

Pearl was behind them with Momo next to him, who carried Whisker. Even further behind them was the man, who was a deer-like animal, and the woman called Little Lin.

The woman turned around at the question, an amused look on her face. "Of course not," she said. "It's the sunlight, obviously."

"Oh… you mentioned you were the one misguiding people through the mist, so I wondered if you had created them," Alex explained.

"No, I just use the mist that is already here. Even if there was no mist, you would still be misguided," the woman said.
