Over the passing of breakfast, Leon contemplated the journey ahead as well as the dangers that even Kettle feared. However, her public speaking was comforting and assuring that -even at the expense perhaps of another leg- the discover of the tree would be worth the undertaking of the difficult task. Getting outside and prepared to lead them, or perhaps be led by Grom, Leon was anxious to leave. 

[b]"I won't let you down, Kettle."[/b] He said, nervously mounting the creature. He didn't know much about Grom but so far the passive reaction was better than a negative one. At first Leon was sure that Grom still didn't like him, even though he hadn't seen him for who knows how long. 

Seeing the distance between his location and his destination, Leon perspective of the journey changed. He thought it would be far more dangerous but flowers with petals as long as his good leg made him wonder if the forest ahead was actually really far away with massive trees that simply looked close. A certain forced perspective had him fooled until the wetlands seemed endless to the hunter. Just when he thought they'd take hours just to arrive the forest of massive plants. The smells were amazing, but looking at flowers had the hunter worried again. They could be poisonous or worse, man-eating.

A couple hours passed again and the Hunter was very pleased by the fact kettle let him ride on Grom. The cameldragon was much more appropriate for a long trip than a peg leg. Leon guessed he'd still be marching through wetlands if he hadn't been on Grom.

At a fallen tree Grom turned and lumbered toward a way around. Leon looked at it, wondering just how long it would take for something that size to decompose. Then it made him wonder about the creatures living inside that corpse of a wooden giant. Bugs were probably burrowed so deeply into the wood that it was probably hollow.

[b]"Oh what's that?"[/b] Leon said out loud. His attention turned toward a glimmering in the distance. Beautiful with rays of a light beaming like a star on a clear night. [b]"Woah that's a big rock. Hey, do you all see that over there?"[/b] Leon pointed to the massive pillar piercing the heavens. Getting closer on Grom, Leon wanted to stand but couldn't because the cameldragon went into a panic, taking him along. Something caught his attention. Looking ahead and holding on as tightly as possible, Leon hoped those left behind were not in danger.

Hearing Kettle behind him, he neared the tail of the Camel Dragon. Trying to keep himself on top of its back he also bent over and reached his hand out to Kettle. Perhaps she could get him calmed and tamed without getting lost in the unfamiliar forest. They'd probably not since that pillar was too big to ignore, however, the hunter didn't know what else to expect from this overgrown wilderness.

[b]"Take my hand, I'll pull you up."[/b] he called outwith his right hand tightly gripped to the nearest object and the other stretched out like the branch of a tree during a storm -which is to say wildly flailing because Grom isn't exactly the smoothest ride.
