[i]"Huh, orcs sure leave a clear trail,[/i] thought the village girl as the group went along the orc's path. [i]"I'm not having to look carefully or anything. It's too easy. Even the bandits hide their trail better than this."[/i] Then Alice looked towards the mountains ahead and shivered, [i]"Strange things have been said of that mountain. The sisters do something there during those trips. Is it really for a dragon? I was waiting 'til I had more experience before even going close there."[/i] Then she looked back at her companions and smiled, [i]"But skilled companions are as good if not better than the most experience. I can only hope to not be too far behind them."[/i]

Then Miss Zukion thought of something. "Mr. Veo," she asked. "What were mines doing in the mountains? I thought noone had been up there and that's why nobody knows why the Bloodmoons go there regularly or what's up there." Then as Alice waited for the reply, she kept her eyes peeled around and on the trail, just in case her suspicions were correct.
