"Juli, please lead the way."
Juli's forehead creased, a look of disbelief staring straight at his innocent eyes.
"Me? You dragged me here!"
Eli gave her a little push on the back.
"You know this forest like the back of your hand, no? You literally trained here."
"That was years ago!"
He shrugged.
"So? You still remember."
Juli opened her mouth to argue, then decided to close it.
"…Okay, yeah, I do."
"See?"
"Shut up!"
She started brisking ahead. Her eyes swept from one side to another, and she pointed east without slowing down.
"Past that slope, there's a clearing where the Mossbacks hang out. Ugh, I hate those things."
Eli's eyes sparked with curiosity.
"What are they?"
Juli maintained her pace.
"They are giant boars covered in bark. They're so stupid, Elise! They just charge at you over and over and over, and every time you hit them it sounds like you're punching a tree! Like their skin is super hard."
She sighed.
