"So, why are we going up here, again?"
The Battleheart asked, glancing lazily up at the steep incline that she and her human companion were about to climb. The reptile was almost always traveling, and yet the human seemed to always be able to find her no matter where she was.
"It's a secret, Cass.~" Was the response, in a singing voice that made Cassandra smile. Olive was a cute human, no doubt about that. She would miss her after she grew old and eventually died. Humans just had such short lives.
Cassandra sighed and didn't bother to ask again. Olive was too full of secrets to ever let her know just why they were here, no matter what. She couldn't even probe her mind for answers, as she seemed to have the incredible ability to block out any magic near her. She would have to ask how she did that..
