Chapter 236: Best Friends

The day passed more quickly than Mia expected; Her declaration of friendship between the two of them seemed to have eased Ford's tension somewhat.

His sarcastic comments noticeably increased in frequency, but she'd promised herself she wouldn't mind.

The terrain changed, and Mia became frustrated. The pull took her to the very edge of a large crevice.

"Hmph," She grumped at her magic. "That's not terribly helpful."

"What's not?" Ford seemed unamused by her habit of talking to herself.

"I need to change what I'm looking for," Mia explained. "I guess… I need to look for the best and safest route to the cave entrance?"

As she concentrated on the concept, the invisible pull she felt began to move, taking her around the canyon instead of directly into it.

"Ah, that's better!" She grinned and tugged on the reins. Henry obeyed her instruction, glad to not be standing quite so close to the drop off.
