"Maybe we should stop, take a short break." Catori suggested.

“And if one of my brothers is after us?” Damian replied, a little bit of his anxiety slipping into his tone.

"They have their own things to worry about, Damian. The only one we ran into was Fletcher, and he seems fairly…easy to calm?" Catori shrugged. "It'll be fine."

“Are you certain you want to rest?” Damian raked his hands through his hair and pulled on the reins to slow Quintus.

"Yes, I am." Asterin followed Quintus's lead and slowed.

Fletcher finally got bored of listening to their talks so he went and teleported somewhere before quickly returning back with someone after giving some spying orders, he got on his horse and galloped to the kingdom of Valeria passing by the pair in the woods and heading southwest. but before he went out of the woods to slow down his brother he created and put down a huge layer of dark fog around the forest and inside of it.

“Catori?” Damian froze as he saw a black mist snaking through the trees. “Do… Do you see that too?”

"This trip has been extremely eventful." Catori muttered, looking towards the mist. "Yeah, I see it."

Damian just stared at it, exhausted enough already. “Okay uh… We need a source of wind. Air. Something to push it backwards.” He narrowed his eyes in deep thought.

"I wont be much help then…" She looked around, trying to think.

Damian looked over at Copper, an idea stirring in his head. “What if we used the birds?”

((aaayy that was just going through my head
"As in, got them to flap their wings a lot?"

“Yes?” Damian responded uncertainly, looking at Catori for assurance.

"That's a pretty good idea. Copper, think you could help us out again?" She turned to the bird, waving another cracker.

Copper happily accepted the cracker. ”Sure!”

Damian nodded. “Copper, go get as many birds as you can. Tell them I’ll grow some blueberry bushes if they help.” He watched the small magpie nod and take to the skies, staring nervously at the creeping mist.

"She's such a helpful bird." Catori stated, watching where she had gone for a moment. "I really hope that's just mist."

Fletcher quickly reached the highway by teleporting and riding and was halfway to Valemnia, when he decided to turn up the heat. quite literally. With a twist of a wrist he had magical energy flow from his hand extremely quickly and into the distance where he had come from just minutes before. Fletcher hope that this would certainly light a fuse of worries.

“Me too.” Damian eyed it nervously. Quintus kept trying to back away, but Damian stilled him. “I really do hate my brothers.” He sighed. “Do you see why we can’t rest?”

Catori nodded, appearing calm. If one looked closer though, they might notice her white knuckled grip on her saddle. "Incredible. You really do hate each other."

“Yeah…” Damian snorted in amusement. He looked up to the sky as it clouded over with a large flock of birds. “Reinforcements have arrived.”

"That is a lot of birds." She laughed, head tilted back as she looked up at them

“Agreed.” Damian held onto Quintus as they swooped down, beating their wings to clear the mist.

Let's hope this works. Catori watched, grinning. It was quite the sight.

After several minutes the flapping slowed to a stop as the birds landed in the trees. The forest now cleared of the fog. Damian slid out of the saddle, kneeling on the ground as he channeled his energy into growing several large blueberry bushes.

Catori watched him with a small frown. The energy draining didn't sit well with her, but she knew that it was a waste of effort to mention.
