And off they were, the cat's powerful legs speeding them forward and right out of the gate. "Too bad this game works with a fog system for the map. But I know the general direction where we need to go. And once I see the surroundings I'll remember." Riding such a fearsome beast was actually quite easy. And that while he had never ridden a horse before. Even bikes took him quite long. Yet now it felt like it came natural to him. "This is awesome! Barely any faster than a bike, but still! I've always wanted to try this in real life!" The man exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement.

First came a large forest. Luckily this place was relatively safe for them. The monsters were only level 7 to 12, they usually stayed away from the paths, and they could never catch up to a running tiger. The cat gracefully jumped over any roots and rocks that were in their way. So it only took about 30 minutes to cross the 8 kilometres of forest they had to cross. When they got to the other side Alakai let his cat slow down a bit The land changed into farmland and fields with some low mountains and a few farms in the distance. "To think it only took me 3 minutes to cross the same area in the game. I guess the distance is like it would be in real life now. I'm really glad I got him now. I should probably think of a name for him..." He shrugged, then steered towards the farms in the distance. "It'll take another half hour or so before we're there I think."

They actually arrived a bit sooner than expected. As expected, villagers were here as well. Just about one family for each of the 5 farms, give or take a child. Though Alakai didn't stop, as their destination was just beyond the village in the mountains. "So about this cave..." He spoke as he headed up a secluded mountain path. "In the game, it was full of spiders. As in, spiders ranging from two to four feet tall. I have no problem with spiders but...I just thought I'd warn you."
