Nix rode side by side with Jun Li on the way back to the turtle house. The point of contact for the quest they just finished was Scarlett in Nescari. The rest of the mounts wouldn't come close to the pair riding in front.
Nightmare nipped at Jun Li's mount, only to receive a warning snarl.
Nix shook his head at the big cat. "I forgot you had that Junie."
Jun Li patted the Dire Cat on one shoulder. She had won it in a bet when she defeated the Scarlet Temple champion. It had long Saber fangs and was striped like a tiger. "It's been so crazy I haven't had a chance."
"What's his name?"
"Her name is Fang."
Nix brought up his hud while they rode. "Isn't the Scarlet Temple on the Edge of the Great Desert?"
"Yes. There's a pretty dense Rainforest on the northernmost part of lower Everspire; a large river separates that from the Great Desert."
"The Temples on the Rainforest side of the river?"
"Yes."
Nix zoomed in on the map. "That river runs all the way to the ocean."
Thanks for reading. Upcoming chapters will see Nix continuing to improve things in Ionova and a return to the Scarlet Temple.
