[center][h1][color=chocolate]Edward Marsh[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] [color=chocolate]'Huh...I expected as much.'[/color] Ed comments to himself as he dismisses the error message the System had given him after a short while after asking it to analyze his dream and define what a Nullven Cone was. The System at least told him that his skills were still developing though, which was good cause the skills would be quite useful in identifying things that would be safe to consume as well as see how good an item is. [color=chocolate]'Speaking of developing skills, System, please display current skill progressions.'[/color] He asked while carrying the bundle of items in his hand made grass mat under one arm. It wasn't the best grass mat ever, but it was something. As they walked further away from the village and its increasingly active inhabitants, it occurred to Ed that they had no idea where they should go. The Den was supposed to be their new place of rest, but the bugs, the villagers, and the mountain peak exploding made sure that the Den would be completely unsafe now. To their South and East was even more plains and to the west was the Mountains. [color=chocolate]'Mountains?'[/color] He thought about it. The place would have an abundance of plant life, fauna, and water but seeing the very peak practically erased from existence, the ratman quickly decided that it was in their best interest to completely avoid the mountains if they valued their lives. That left the trio of further South or East plains. [color=chocolate]"The mountains are a definite no after that huge explosion. That leaves us with grassy plains to the East and even more grassy plains further South."[/color] His stomach grumbled slightly and his throat felt quite dry. [color=chocolate]"Which ever direction we go to, its preferable that we find a place with or near a stable and clean body of water."[/color] Ed then focused his [b][Beast Sense II][/b] to his hearing first, then his smell, and finally his sight. All to see if he could pick up any signs of water. May it be the sound, the smell, or even a simple glimpse.
