They began the climb early the next morning. It was Belialthorn and the Captains that climbed. The hunting party had grumbled as Belialthorn announced those who would hunt Tempest.
But Belialthorn also saw the relieved sigh they released when they looked up at the mountain that touched the clouds. Even Valor was to stay behind.
"I can see why you let them stay back now," Thal grunted as he nimbly jumped from one broken step to another like a mountain goat. Even with heavy hammer on his back.
The terrain was steep and rocky and the higher they climbed the colder it got. They have been climbing for most of the morning now, Kieran leading them.
They had to be careful of their steps now as sharp rocks jutted out of the ground.
