I dug my feet in as I ran back up the hill; my Earth Force Pact made steps like another stair, and I was able to scale the crater in no time. Lizy was staying quiet, but Keri was cheering as I made my way up.
"You can do it!" Keri yelled with joy as I reached the top.
I looked around and then concentrated on the area I assumed the Keep was in, but I wasn't entirely sure. I could take the path around to the other side of the crater, but that would take extra time that I didn't want to waste.
"Do either of you know the direction that the Keep is in?" I asked the girls and then explained myself when Lizy looked up at me with a strained look. "I don't normally go this way, and I used the smoke that was coming from the Fire Lake as a marker when I was coming over here. The problem was I had to go deal with something, and I was thrown off course."
