Despite not having crossed the mountain range yet, Erik and June started feeling uneasy.
As they flew, the mountains grew ever larger in their view, their snow-capped peaks glistening under the sun's gaze.
Erik's gaze remained fixed on the mountains, his mind calculating the best route to navigate the dangers that lay ahead.
Should they stop flying? Should they walk? If they landed, they were likely going to be attacked by land thaids. However, this was still better than facing wyverns.
Nothing attacked them the last time they flew through the mountain range. But there was a difference between now and back then: the Cerulean bird wasn't there yet.
Given the battle he and June witnessed the last time they crossed the mountains, Erik had many reasons to think the creature was now living here.
Wyverns didn't attack them the last time, but the creature might not have had the same idea.
