And thus, the seperate groups have been formed. One was travelling via the route of Argent, the silver land that was now having quite the wet season now, so wet you would question why you'd even want to go there. The current weather was freezing and it rained rather often.

And then there was the second group, which travelled via the route of Leonais, the land of canyons, caves and valleys. It was a rocky road with hot, humid yet moderate temperatures, but a rocky road nonetheless. You could pass it off as a desert at first glance.

With supplies packed, the groups were ready to roll. Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months, and months turned into...

... a great burden and bundle of despair

The Argent Forces had advanced through Phoenicis for weeks, and it was only until recently when they were prepared to cross the borders that seperated Phoenicis and Argent. They red rocks began to shift to a hue of grey as they walked forward. The sounds of the sea could be heard, since it wasn't exactly far.

Tachibana then begins to speak. "Around this time period, Argent will have great floods that will cause lower land to be submerged, causing our routes to be fragmented into mere, small islands. However, should we rest for a night while we are on lower grounds of Argent, we run a risk of being drowned in our sleep," he coughs a little, "we are also low on resources, such as food, herbs and water. We will have to restock by hunting."

Tachibana then notes that a river flowed past the borders, linking to the seas. That was a source of water, and potentially food.
