The two creatures began to saunter from the scene of the fight, there was not much of a hurry at the moment. Plus, rest was definitely necessary if there was truly more to see. And more to fight. The two explorers knew fur certain that there were still more mythological creatures to discover in this realm. While the two made attempts to find a safe haven, Arkmaar began to speak.
"Alright, we have to guys left here, Mothman and the Faun. Not many have seen the Mother, most encounters were dangerous too." The gryphon rambled as he skimmed through his map and the sloppily written notes.
"But I don't have much if a description for faun. Just something about plants." He mumbled under his breath and still tried to decipher the hidden message. Sure, plants were important but how did they relate to the Faun? Soon enough the pair would have to find out.
Volrik was only half listening to what Arky was saying. She had all the information needed in the Mothman and she didn't even care about the plant talk. Since touching a plant nearly poisoned her she wasn't going to go around poking every single thing in the forests. Or the clearing. Or anything in this realm of everything poisonous. Seriously, why must there be a lot of thinking put into touching an object? It just made no sense to her.
Arkmaar was walking slightly ahead and headed deeper into the forest. He carefully scanned the area around him to make sure there would be no surprises. The Mothman's Nest could be near and if they managed to get too close there was no doubt the creature would attack. He shoved a branch from his face and his eyes grew wide. A clearing. Perfect.
Volrik showed him aside and walked into the clear area. It wasn't exactly a large area bit it seemed to be a rather good resting place. She lowered herself to the grass and glanced around at everything. She did all the fighting and was tired. The gryphon just sat there and screamed a lot.
While Volrik was resting, Arky began to lick his wounds clean, although his beak would poke at him at times. He didn't mind and was rather used to it. He just didn't want an infection. Especially since the point if this entire quest was to cure an infection. That would be a rather ironic death. Plus the dragon would truly be hopeless without his genius. Or so he thought. They both would, just as, easily be able to do the quest alone but no one wanted to take any chances.
Most other options were infected and dying. It just so happened that the two strongest and smartest were healthy and very much alive.
