Upon examining the soil, Zeke would find it more granular and coarse than the soil back home. It was mostly dark brown with sparse white specks mixed within. There didn't appear to be any bugs or signs of animal waste inside, but there was a faint scent of garlic. Likewise the grass in the soil seemed to have similar features. A bit dry, prickly and more coarse than the grass at home, and that same garlicky aroma. Both the soil and the grass seemed to be getting warm...

But we'll have to pick a place to get settled down first before I get started on a farm. And we've gotta build Esailia's cool guard tower."[/color] She look around, analyzing the mountains up ahead. [color=ec008c]"Hey guys,"[/color] she said, addressing the whole party. [color=ec008c]"It looks like there's a nice hill over there. Maybe we should settle down for the night and make some plans for tomorrow."[/color] She pointed over to a dusty hill at the foothills of the mountains. The sun was now dipping down below the horizon and the light was starting to dim. Within the next our or so, there would be none left other than starlight. The hill was still a bit of a hike away from the mountains, but it gave them a good view of the surrounding land, and was not covered in the grass, which Ayane swore was starting to look different.
