Auriel's grim look only set in harder as the pair climbed higher and higher. At least Emlyn agreed that they had to find [i]something.[/i] He couldn't help but wonder what the artifacts even were. They could be anything, but would they know when they found them? This test could also be one of their ability to perceive irregularities. A few blades of grass out of place in a sea of green. A needle in a haystack, so to speak. "Hey, Emlyn. Do you...have any clue what it is we're even looking for? I mean...here we are, climbing a mountain to get a better view of what we're searching for...and we don't even really know exactly what it is we're looking for. This bugs me." 

Chancing a look back, Auriel gaped at the sight in front of his eyes. They'd made damn good progress in the time they'd been moving, that was for sure. "Well, whatever it is we're looking for...I hope we find it. I don't mind the view and all, but I prefer flat ground. I'd probably be near useless in a fight unless we find something like that. Much as I love my weapon, they're not made for an uphill battle. You've at least got some range with...Mirror, was it?"
