OoC: Issued a timeskip to get past the mountains.
IC: If it had just been Darion and Saturos, they probably would have made better time, but with Marle slowing them down, with constant stumbling and lack of ability in climbing rocks, the travel took a full days worth, before they ended up on the other side of the mountain, and down to it's base. The night had been gold on the opposite side of the mountain which entered into Eturia. Marle was glad though, because Eturia was a warmer country, and she could see that, as the three walked from the base of the mountain.
The rest that Saturos had paced out for them had her wheezing, and out of breath by when she was done. The weight of the armor made it seem like gravity had been increased by atleast five times the norm. Wiping sweat off her forehead, her eyes looked to Saturos for guidance. She had never been outside of Ilia before...so this was a new place, with actual life to preserve in it. The chill of the mountain seemed to be a part of her armor now, and could use a nice warm bed to sleep in. Saturos had mentioned of villages once they made it past the mountains, but for the life of her, she could not see any.
"So, where do we go now?"

Saturos put his hands on his hips and looked around. The hadn't gotten completely free of the mountain range yet, as denoted by the scattering of mountains around them, but they did have a straight shot out of them, as denoted by the valley in front of them. Best thing was that they were out of the snow, even thought there was still the occasional Ilian breeze. Good thing too, because Saturos was starting to get a little chilly.
"If I remember correctly, there should be a decent sized town right through that pass," he said, pointing in the direction of the two mountains ahead of them with one hand and stifling a slight yawn with the other. "It'll be a few more hours, and I know it's quite late, but you really don't want to set up camp at the foot of these mountains." Saturos turned to look at Marle and winked. "Wyvern country. I learned that the hard way." He slapped his shoulder. "I even got a little present."
Waving his hand for the two to follow, he looked up at the sky, noting the position of the moon. A faint growl echoed out of the mountains behind them. "We should be able to reach civilization before midnight. Let's go."

Marle gave a curt nod and lifted herself up until she was standing fully once more. The swelling on her cheek and lip had gone down with the cold weather, but there was still a cut on the side of her head which had somewhat healed. As Saturos pointed across, she did her best to follow where he was pointing. The moon made things visible, but just barely, and as Saturos yawned, so did she, which she tried to cover up as well.
"The talk about wild wyverns kind of scared her, smaller, less powerful dragons, from what she was told. If that was true, well, that didn't quite mean much to her, really...they were still large and pretty fearsome, as Saturos was basically telling her by indicating towards the 'present.' Quickly, she removed the lance from the holster she had it up on, and brought it to rest comfortably in her right hand, and so used the long weapon as a walking stick. When Saturos motioned for Darion and her to follow, they quickly did so. Even with the moon out, it would become easy to lose someone in the dark.
"You know.." she started to say, as her stomach then growled. "I can't wait to get something to eat...and oh god...a nice comfortable bed...I haven't had one in weeks..."
She kept her eyes on Saturos. She thought of him as something to aspire to, he was well taught by his many experiences around the world. She, however, was just informed about Ilia, and was a country bumpkin comparatively.
