Birds die for food while people die for treasures

With Nerissa leading the way, Aster and the girls advanced through the forest, the fact that they couldn't fly due to the dome-like treetops and had to move through the ground, made Aster take the decision of putting some focus in Espi's development when he returns.

Because it would be way easier to travel by riding on top of a spirit beast than moving by oneself, at least in long distances and situations, where moving through space or flying isn't possible.

"Damn if I knew it was going to be like this, I would have beaten that lizard to submission even if it was just for a disposable mount", said Aster, making the girls laugh.

It was rare for him to suffer a lose of any kind, so they found the situation quite refreshing since he is always teasing them.

Even Aria who was holding hands with Aster while they ran through the forest, covered her mouth and giggled, so far, this little adventure with Aster has been what she expected, so she was all smiles.
