The Search

Theron went home first to prepare things for hunting as well as medicine and some of Meara's candies. He is unsure where the search could lead him so he has to prepare for the worst.

He started toward the direction Calla pointed out to him. Given the experience of hunting in the mountains for half a decade, his tracking skills are more than average. He is now looking for any traces of carriage from the unusual paths the villagers take.

Since the ground is moist from previous rains and mountain rains are unpredictable, any traces can be easily discovered especially if the path is less taken or if there's no path at all. The set of the carriage can be distinguished. Theron followed it closely while looking out for the dangers of animals, snakes, and poisonous plants.
