Miss Brie and the two students who had decided to go with her in search of Seven, Rolanda, and Derek, matched attentively through the vast expanse of Sagemount with looks of exhaustion on their faces.
They have been walking without taking time to rest for a whole day, making them utterly frustrated. Yet, Miss Brie had motivated them to keep going.
Thanks to the fact that Tessa and Gordon were high-spirited individuals who only took this situation as a challenge. It was certain that the suffering and misfortune were high, but that was to be expected in Sagemount even though Seven and the others' disappearance made it a little tiring.
As a Vanquisher, one had to endure and be ready for anything. Since the apocalypse, the world had transformed to become an extremely dangerous place, which they had begun to get used to.
Literally, this was the kind of experience a future Militia or Badlander needs to encounter at the beginning of his/her journey.
