Dear diary,
Today we are gonna head straight to Bryxton town!
Though the journey there wasn't a smooth ride as one might think…it was better than the other options we had to choose from.
Besides that we get to choose our first commission as soon as we reach there!! I'm so excited we might actually get to rank up and take the first step in our goal!

"What's that smell-" Astra said, covering her nose while the group was walking in a swamp.
Bubbles occasionally rose from the water making this weird and terrible scent.
"It's just the swamp." Kai was struggling to walk as the mud stuck to his boots whereas Ari had no problem with the current situation.
"Can you guys hurry up?" Ari turned to them to see them struggling.
….
"Maybe i did make a mistake-" she said to herself letting out a deep sigh before helping them.

The swamp was quiet; only the croaks of the nearby mutant frogs and the splashing of water far beyond the swamp could be heard.
The sun blocked out by the trees making it appear to be night and just as cold.
Lumi jumped out of the arms of Astra landing into the mud to run ahead of the other's she seemed to be enjoying herself.
They stopped at a dry area.
"We can stop here." Ari said, putting her stuff down on the dry ground.
They've been walking here for so long Astra and Kai forgot what it was like to walk on solid ground.
Astra also rests her stuff on the floor sitting down somewhere nearby.
"Ari… how close are we." Astra was still tired from all that walking you could hear it in the way she was breathing.
Kai too was tired but refused to show it.
"We're a good two days away."
"Two days??" Astra sat up straight from shock.
She gets sick just thinking about that much walking!
"No use complaining I guess." Kai sighed
As the group continued chatting about where they were going and how long it would take a hand appeared from the bushes going through Astra's bag.
Of course no one noticed this ..well no one but Lumi who growled the creature behind the bushes.
The creature picked up Astra's phone; it has never seen anything like it before.
Lumi chased after the creature barking, catching the attention of Astra and the others.
"Lumi, where are you going??" Astra called out to her furry friend as she chased after her.
"Oh come on-" Ari and Kai also followed the two of them until they reached a weird open path.
There was no sign of Lumi or whatever caused her to run over here.
They kept walking down the path until they saw a giant tree taller than any other tree in the swamp.
The place looked majestic. Flowers blooming and water crystal clear.
The tree was made into a living place for the high elves. You wouldn't have guessed this was in the middle of a swamp.
"What the…." Astra said, looking around.
