"Yeah... Sorry about that... When we really care a friend so much that we cherishes them, we tend to get very protective of them very similar to..,you know who..." said Vermillion

"Master is right about that, it's what we were born to do, and that'll never change...nor that we want to..." said Viviana

"Just as long as you just don't get hurt... If you ever did get hurt...I..." said Chika, filled with so much worry that she ended up hugging Moon tightly as she then tears up

"Chika... Well seeing that you two were really going friends for so long, feelings like that are very natural. I just pray that it'll all go smoothly, and that it doesn't come to pass that you end up getting hurt." said Viviana

"I'll do my best, but I think that Miss Moon and I can really be a good combination. We'll just have to wait and see." said Vermillion

She hugged Chika back and rubbed her back gently.

Chika starts to feel better when Moon rubs her back gently as Vermillion and Viviana continues to watch. A few minutes later, Benjamin comes out with all the stuff he needs as he stores it all in his double baggage cart. He then brings the horses around in front of the exit as he checks to make sure that the cargo is tightly secured.

"Well it's time to go you two. I'll sit in the front alongside Benjamin, so that I can be first to protect and gauge how we're going to do this." said Vermillion

"I'll sit along the cargo in the first cart." said Viviana

"I'll sit in the back. Where are you going to sit, Moon?" asked Chika

"I'm fine sitting anywhere or I can walk. Either way, I'll be fine with it." She said.

"Well walking is not recommended since we'll be riding with Benjamin throughout the entire trip...at least before the large troll comes to disturb us..." said Vermillion

"Why don't you sit with me in the back, Moon?" said Chika

She sighed. She shrugged. "I don't know..." She said. "I'll sit in the back with Chika then." She said. ~I need to talk with you...~ She thought to Chika.

"Sure, Moon, what ever you want to talk about?" asked Chika telepathically

Once everyone got on, Benjamin begins the ride as they exit out of Thallus, and are now on the road to Quillton, keeping a lookout for the large troll within the area.

She layed her head on Chika. "I've been feeling bad lately, but I don't know why..." She said.

"You poor thing... I do want to help you get better... Is there any reason why you feel bad?" asked Chika as she then rubs Moon head lovingly

She smiled and purred a bit. "I'm not sure..." She said.

"Then perhaps it must be something related to us? But then what is it? I wonder if it's because you're here with me instead of Viviana or Vermillion? Or maybe it's because Mai didn't come along with us?" asked Chika, concerned for Moon's happiness

"I don't know..." She said. "I really don't know..."

"Well I'm sure you'll tell is what's the matter when you know, and if we can help." said Chika

She nodded. She nuzzled Chika a bit.

Chika continues to lovingly pet Moon's head as everyone continues their ride. 45 minutes have passed, and nothing has happened up to this point. Currently they are a fifth of the way there by now.

She started to sing to herself...

Chika also joins in Moon's singing, since she loves to sing as well, as they continue on their way. 20 more minutes has passed as Vermillion continues to alertly look around his surroundings for the troll.

"It's been roughly an hour, and we still don't see the troll... How odd that it's rather far away from Thallus that caused a panic. Maybe there's some misinformation flying around saying that it's more closer than it appears to be...or there's something else we're missing...? Either way, we'll have to conduct our investigation later as now we need to focus on the task at hand here, and that's delivering the medicine to Vilnius to stop the plague that's affecting them." said Vermillion, lost in his thoughts

Meanwhile, Viviana rests on the cargo, enjoying the ride as it's not too bumpy for her to be uncomfortable.

She finishes the song and smiles at Chika. "I feel better now." She said.

"I'm glad that you are better and happy now." said Chika with a bright smile

The group continues to ride for another 10 minutes before Vermillion notices something that got his attention.

"Benjamin, pull over for a second!" said Vermillion

Benjamin eventually slows down to a stop as Vermillion jumps right off the driver's seat to investigate what appears to be a large footprint. Viviana also gets off of her seat to take a look at the large footprint along with Vermillion.

"Oh? I think Lord Vermillion has found something important if he had Mister Benjamin to pull over." said Chika

"This must be one of its footprints... Looks like a little over 3 feet in length...that's pretty big...we may be talking about something over 7-8 feet give or take... This may be a bit more challenging than I thought..." said Vermillion

"Indeed... Although the big question is, was this footprint recent?" asked Viviana

"Let's find out." said Vermillion

Vermillion touches the very bottom of the footprint before touching the surrounding area to get a hypothesis on wherever the troll's footprint was recent or not.

"Hmm... My theory is that this footprint was made recently, which means that it may be close by. I don't see any campfire smokes that can possibly signal a troll camp, so we'll have to carefully search around and up ahead since we don't want the horses to get spooked, and possibly damage the cargo." said Vermillion

"I agree..." said Viviana

She teleported to Vermillion. "I'll help." She said.
