The mountain path brought back memories of home. The mountains that they were making their way across reminded him somewhat of home. The cliffs lacked the common features of gigantic craters or imprints of missed attacks, but it had the same smell. The same altitude.
The two switched between taking the lead, setting the pace for their hike up and up the rocky cliffs. When Abyss became exhausted, Chakravartin's slower pace would let her get her breath back, and when she was fresh, she would zoom ahead, marking the easiest ways up, finding the levelest ground so Chakravartin wouldn't trip and fall due to his eyesight. They made good time, like that. They cleared the first of the larger mountains, nearly reaching the point where snow gathered, and they began making way for a valley.
"They really need to put more in these packs." Abyss muttered, frowning at her nearly-empty once again bag. Climbing took a lot of energy, especially wounded.
"It's a survival game in all aspects." Chakravartin said, "I'd be less impressed if they didn't force us to fend for ourselves."
"The final reward had better be worth all of this." the squid grumbled, keeping her eyes ahead.
The downhill trek was a little easier, and they took a brief rest period in the valley, scavenging for more food. Abyss chanced upon a stream and was overjoyed, the Mobian had missed the water. There were a few tiny, wild grapes in the valley, and Chakravartin soon emptied it of them. He needed as much biomass as possible, in case they came across something capable of destroying one of his Palace Hands.
"Ah, there are new item drops." Chakravartin said, "If we turn back now we could get to E1 in just-"
"No! If those demons decide to chase us, I want us as far as possible." she pulled the tablet from his hands, looking over the small list of alerts. "We'll head for the one in D2." she said, handing the tablet back, "We'll definitely have lost them by then."
Chakravartin raised a finger, tapping his Halo, "None of them are heading for us, that I can tell, Abyss."
"Well, I don't want us to be nearby when they decide that they are!"
"Fine, fine." Chakravartin said, "D2 it is."
"Hopefully we'll find the second part of this weapon... I'm hoping it'll give us a sliver of a chance of actually winning at this!" Chakravartin agreed.
