After resting by the stream for a few minutes, they began their journey, and while they were doing so, they stopped to enjoy the scenic spots that were in their path.
They saw a pond that had a pack of wolves with flame fur, a canyon that was probably the result of the devastating attacks Haden and The Remnant had used, a patch of colourful flowers, a small spring of fog and many more.
They also watched the various ether beasts that were now filling the red and black mountains.
A pale deer with obsidian antlers and hoofs, a mole with a fur so dark it seemed to absorb the light around it, a boar with metal skin and tusks, a bird that was entirely made of wind and many others.
None of the ether beasts attacked them because Rion was unknowingly flooding the area around himself with his potent killing intent.
Overall, their journey towards the first stop ended without any issues.
