It had already been half a day since Zane started climbing the mountain. And in half a day, he had already reached the middle of the mountain.
It was not a problem as the people from the town made a path in the mountains long ago. This was to collect herbs and hunt the mountain goats to eat. The lower half of the mountain was easy as it had a path. Although it was cold, this part was also filled with plants.
The upper half, however, was filled with snow. There was no path as people didn't usually climb the upper half. Even if they did, they had to be extra careful.
Right now, Zane was sitting on a rock and leisurely enjoying the sandwich packed by the innkeeper.
[We've climbed the mountain for half a day already.. But there's still no sign of the spirit.]
"Maybe we'll see it in the snowy half of the mountain.." Zane spoke with a mouth full of sandwich.
