Their journey continued, in no way exciting or rewarding. Aria grew more and more tired each step she took, but it was not an exhaustion that sleep could help. She felt bad, like she was weighing down the moonspear male with her slowness-- but she could not help it. They hadn't had much to eat, and the pale princess had eaten more bugs than she'd ever even seen in her entire life. They hadn't even been gone for very long-- the world was just cruel.

Floki had proven to be a much better companion than she'd hoped for, and his playful teasings often gave her sour mood a much needed uplifting. She returned his quips happily, making their travels much more enjoyable. There was still a pit in the bottom of her stomach, one that grew each and every moment. What if they would end their travels empty-handed? No plants, no prey, no land-- no nothing. The thought burned holes through her heart, scorching each bit of hope she'd had at the beginning of their adventure. She prayed they'd find something-- anything-- in this god-forsaken barren land, but right now she felt that it was stupid to think such a niave thought. The world was dead and brown, and she could do nothing about it.

They walked on more elevated land now, and Aria's breathing was heavy. It didn't sound obnoxious or unhealthy, but it was clear that their lack of food over the past few days had damaged the girl at least slightly. She'd been pampered her whole life, and prey had never been far from reach-- even if it was small. Bugs were simply not as filling. In an effort to distract herself from her physical state, she nudged Floki gently. "I can't believe you live on a mountain. Do you have to climb every day?" she teased, raising an eyebrow at the man.
