They tried to lead their horses into the grass forest, but they refused to budge, so they had to leave them behind. Cass wanted to see if there was a way around the large mass of tree-sized grass, but was quickly dissuaded when he was reminded how close the Brotherhood was behind them. Without the use of Bren’s magic or the sun’s location, they had to rely on Cass and his odd instruments to tell what direction they were traveling. Bren had to give it to Cass, the man was always ready for whatever was thrown at him. The only real trouble they found was that the grass was not easy to move through. At first, they tried to cut through the grass with their weapons, but that quickly proved a useless attempt. No matter how sharp the sword, the grass would bend and sway then bounce back right in its original location. With no other choice, they were forced to push the grass aside to move forward. To help from losing sight of each other they linked themselves together with some of the rope that Cass had brought with him.
