As Minos and Abby continued their journey to Dahlia, Elen and Elena's bodyguards were going through a critical time in their journey right now.
After leaving Athela, they had headed towards the mountainous regions of the central part of that state, the closest place with forests dangerous enough for them to lessen the chances of being caught by the Allen family spies.

In this part of their trajectory, they had found an ideal place to hide from their pursuers temporarily.
Due to the fact that this mountainous region was vast and had numerous caves, the two had been very careful, avoiding leaving tracks as much as possible until they found a place where their pursuers could take days to find them.
