The Outerlands on our way there. Remember, you came across an ant girl nest where one wasn’t supposed to be. There could potentially be other monster races along the way to the elven forest we could find, and every bit helps Daniel’s cause.”
“The more ground we cover, the more monsters we could find,” Alyssa reasoned. “Still, this route is going to add much more time to reach the elves, here’s hoping we find others who can help us.” She blinked then showed a dull expression as she glanced to Specca.
“Um, Specca?” The girls looked to her as she pointed to something. “Tell me we’re not traveling way out there just for a lake.” The girls looked to what she was pointing at, a lone lake on the map that was far off from their route.
“Well,” Specca replied sheepishly while glancing away from the girls. “We need to explore everywhere we can, right?”
“That’s going to take two days to get out there,” Alyssa mentioned. “And another two days to get back to our planned route, and there’s nothing else remotely close to it."
“Leave no stone unturned, as they say,” Specca commented with closed eyes.
“Then why are we ignoring here, here, and here?” Triska questioned as she noticed that Specca’s route swerved and avoided three areas by a large margin. Specca glanced to the map then looked up with a shrug.
“To dry and barren there.”
“Specca!” Alyssa shouted out, with the nixie flinching then looking to her nervously. “You’re just having us go anywhere that has a river or lake near it. We can’t limit ourselves to areas that have water.”
“But it’s a good route though, I worked really hard on it,” Specca whined.
“We’re also missing this place to check out,” Triska mentioned while pointing to a section of the map.
“Here too,” Alyssa added while pointing to another.
Squeak pointed to another part of the map that had been carefully avoided by the nixie’s route with a squeak.
Specca looked around at the girls with a flustered huff and shook her head.
“But… but we can’t go everywhere out there, there’s just not enough time… we can’t…”
The girls just looked at her with dull stares.
“Leave no stone unturned, as they say,” Alyssa repeated flatly.
“But, Triska,” Specca nervously said. “You just said it’s taking a long time to reach the elven forest. If we extend our route to all of those places that’ll double our time at the very least.”
“And in doing so we may find more proof for Daniel’s case with the queen,” Triska replied with a raised eyebrow at the nixie. “I want to get to the elven forest soon, but I don’t want to miss an opportunity to help Daniel along the way.”
Specca stammered something then looked to Alyssa with a nervous smile.
“But, Alyssa, we don’t have enough provisions to last an extended trip as it is. If we change the route we won’t be able to stock up on supplies in some of the towns when we need them, and I know you don’t care for little meals such as simple sandwiches and water.”
“We have enough food,” Alyssa retorted. “I can get more food from home, Triska can hunt for food, we’re not going to starve out here. And yes, I don’t care for what Triska considers to be a full meal-”
“Hey!” Triska barked out at her. “I don’t see you whipping up an elaborate spread every day!”
Alyssa paused for a moment then continued.
“However, this isn’t a joyride out here, we’re helping Daniel with his quest, remember? For that I’ll deal with Triska’s poor cooking.”
“Poor cooking? Excuse me if I don’t use magic to make everything perfect!”
“Aw, you think my cooking is perfect? That’s so sweet of you to say,” Alyssa giggled with a happy smile at the girl. Triska growled and reached back for her sword, with Specca grabbing her arm with both hands and struggling to keep the girl from unsheathing her blade.
“But… but… what about Squeak’s
