(Story extract)

We were soon trekking through the overgrown hills again, soon finding a cracked stone road and taking it eastwardly. My stomach rumbled as we walked down the road, the sun peeking over the distant mountains and meeting our eyes. Uh, you didnt happen to grab a bag of oats or something on the way out, did you? Crash Dive passed along a rather annoyed glare – a simple ‘no’ would’ve sufficed, yikes…

If you wanted food, you shouldve packed it yourself. You can get something to eat when we get to the town, anyways. My ears flopped down, stomach letting off another loud grumble, as I regretted not setting an alarm on my Pip-Buck. The road dipped into a small valley, a river flowing alongside it. As we walked beside the rushing water, Night Strike spoke up.

Hey, so, uh, why is it you said you werent coming into town with us, anyways? The power armored pegasus didnt answer for a long moment, simply walking forward as we followed along. The old road turned southwards slightly, coming to a small crumbling rock bridge. Oh yeah, I definitely trust my life with that. She headed over the bridge first, as Night Strike and I followed behind. I peered over a hole in the short wall on the side, hopping back as I saw the water flowing underneath – I dont care how slow it is, Id sooner be able to fly than swim.
