Jie smiled 'Hey. My name is Jie.' She introduced 'I believe we haven't met...' She said, 'I'm guessing you're my partner! I think we should...' She was interrupted by the sound of more howling. 'Move.. Come on.' Jie said, jogging off. She'd hope that Gram would follow him deeper into the forest. She wondered, what were the Artifacts they needed to get? were they chess pieces? checker pieces? car parts? Jie wondered, and looked back to Gram, then in front of her.
