They had to dodge and stick to the shadows, following small paths through thick underbrush to reach heavily guarded outposts. Kirmizi had transport papers from Dong Tochi so the only hard part was reaching one of the outposts without having to engage Chim or other wild animals. On several occasions they had to make a run for the outpost after being spotted and chased all the way to a fortified gate. There the guards were keen to keep Chim and animals away and repelled the attack while cursing Kirmizi and Gumus for not being more careful. For Gumus there was a particularly nasty animal that plagued him. A tiny specimen that bit his ankles and caused them to swell. That only lasted through the heavily wooded areas. Next on their journey came a shore line they followed for days and then a hot, dry volcanic landscape that stretched on forever. When the landscape finally changed to another heavily wooded area, Kirmizi announced. "We're almost there." "This trip has taken us many months. How do we even know they're still there?" Gumus asked.
