"That would probably be a good idea," Thalia said, knowing that Sakura still had to pack a few of her belongings away.

Eve was working on packing her things and gave a smile to Salem." Are you looking forward to riding on Articuno for the first time?" She asked.

"I am, and so is he actually," Salem responded as he sat on the bed. He had packed his things last night and was waiting for his beautiful girlfriend to finish. He had visited Articuno last night and glad that he made a friend with Angelus.

" I'm glad. I'm all set. " Eve said with a smile and had a feeling Kirito was already to go to. She was glad that he and Articuno were getting along well.

"Good to hear," Salem replied, knowing that they had to leave soon. "So, how long do you think we should wait before teasing Elisa and Taylor?" he asked after a few seconds.

"We should wait a little bit, but not too long. " Eve said with a giggle. It was nice to see one of her friends find someone. She just wondered if she was right about Carly having a crush on Alex.

Salem chuckled himself. "Alright," he said after a while.

" Ready to go Carly? " Max asked after packing her bag. She wondered how her friend was doing since soon they would be in the same town as her mom.

"Ready," Carly replied with a soft smile on her face. Despite what Alex said to her last night, she was still worried about meeting her mom.

" I'm headed out mom. I promise to message you as soon as we get to the mountain village. " Elisa said as she grabbed her bags. She was nervous but equally excited about this whole adventure.

Jennifer smiled lightly as she bid her daughter goodbye, knowing that Alex and the others would look after Elisa in her stead. "I'll be waiting for it!" she exclaimed.

Elisa waved goodbye and went to meet the others in the main room. From there they would head to the stables and then head to the mountain village.

Alex waited patiently with the others as they waited on Elisa and Deanna. Other than those two, everyone was ready and waiting.

Deanna was hurrying to the main room and waved when she saw the others. " Sorry about taking so long. It was my fault. " Deanna said.

Elsia also waved and was glad that they all were still here. She had worried that they would leave without her.

"It's alright sis, we just got here a few seconds ago ourselves," Carly explained, noticing Taylor returning the wave to Elisa for the group.

Elisa smiled and was glad Taylor had waved back at her." Thank you all again for letting me come. " She said with a smile on her face.

"It's the least we can do for letting us stay here," Alex replied. "Now then, is everyone packed and ready to go?" he asked once everyone was inside the room.

" We are. " Eve said seeing Salem and Kirito nod and also heard the others say that they were ready to go.

"Alright then, let's head out," Alex said, having already paid Jennifer the fee for their rooms.

( Skip to when they arrive to the town?)

(sure)

Elisa looked around and was amazed at how quaint this town was. " We should get inside. It's starting to get windy again. " She said knowing soon it would snow.

"Good idea. I think only Articuno would be unaffected by the snow and cold," Alex responded with a light chuckle. He was glad that Angelus had made it this far for him, but he knew that she was having immense trouble flying in the cold.

" From what mom said, there is an inn just down this street that we can stay at. Also they have heated stables. The owner is a friend of my mom's ." Elisa said.

"Heat would be nice," Yugito said, shivering lightly. Even with all the clothes she had on, the arctic air still managed to seep into her bones. She had used some of her youki in order to keep herself warm, but it only helped for a little while against the bitter cold.
