After they arrived at the periphery of Misty Forest, Madeleine's spell finally dissipated, freeing Drai and Max. At the same time, a loud neigh was heard.
"Horsie!" Drai exclaimed upon seeing the grown foal exit the woods and gallop toward them. He didn't know whether Horsie got out on his own or had also been sent here by Madeleine, but that wasn't important right now.
"Max, what about the camp? Should we clean it up?" Drai asked as he brushed Horsie's lush mane.
"I don't think we have the time," Max said. "Just let Madeleine handle it—I'm sure she can use her spell to remove or conceal it. We should hurry up and head out in the direction she told us. You have her map, right?"
"Yeah." Drai projected the map and inspected it. "She said to go west, but I think we need to veer north a bit 'cause that's where the alpine biome is."
"Alright. Let's go."
When the two had taken a few steps forward, Horsie suddenly neighed and nudged Drai.
"What is it, Horsie?" Drai asked.
