After spending a humble night with the wood elves, Zero and Truen started making plans in the morning while they helped to hunt for food. The wood elves were overjoyed with the haul of the morning hunt. Everyone became busy with cleaning the meat and Zero let them be. In fact, he decided to pass Torran some seeds so that the elves could learn to farm for their own harvest instead of relying on the forest and risking capture.
The plan was to enter the Great City of Altear and take a look around. Zero didn't want to meet King Sharo just yet. They travelled a little too quickly from Smargdas and if King Brice knew just how quickly they'd arrived, he would probably think that Zero was very capable and would most likely try to ask for one more favour.
Truen didn't know if it would be alright to leave it to Zero to get them the passes. Zero was powerful and wiser now but his guardian still couldn't help but be concerned.
