It was a warm day, there was still snow on the ground, but the weather was a good indicator spring was coming. Evren and the others had left the road and were traveling through the Alaboia Forest south of St. Gloria. They had come across farm houses along the route but wasn't sure of their loyalty towards the Holy State Grandia, so they opted to avoid contact with anyone. As they walked north, Evren had gained a considerable amount of information from Bryan and Tim, but they still faced a problem.
