• Disobedience Is No Fun

The morning came with cold mist and wet leaves.

Cerene and Thorin were already awake, she had her Realm Articulating Map on display, showcasing their route back to the Realm's center.

"You see this is where the map becomes confusing, the mountains are all out of place and the path seems warped." She said to him.

"We're really going to have a difficult time finding our way around that path."

Thorin nodded his head, thinking. "Spheris was right about the Abyssian, her experience will help us navigate when we get there."

Cerene smiled knowingly. "I see. So what happened to 'we should be careful about him'."

Thorin returned her smile. "Let's just say Spheris and I had a little talk last night. Straightened things out."

"Great. Did he tell you where he was before the hilltop?"

Thorin's smile flipped. "I didn't ask him that actually."
