Chapter 452: Blue Cave Grass

"Walker, wake up already. We are all waiting on you!" Remey gave a shout to Walker who was still curled up with a blanket. He had overslept out of all of them due to his significant exhaustion. 

"Hrmm?" Walker heard Remey but was still slightly in dream land. "Ah! Yes, I am awake!" He realized that he could feel the sunlight on his face and shot out of bed. He threw on his gear and smothered his hair trying to look like he had not just gotten out of bed. 

"I don't know what you guys are on about. I was awake the whole time." He tried to play it off like he was already awake and just getting ready, but they could all see the hairs on his head sticking up every which way.

"Oh? And your hair just happens to be like that after you gave it a rinse? That's rough buddy." Gil couldn't help but tease Walker. It was almost part of his job in the party. 

"We can make fun of him later. We need to go get the herbs I need for the night vision potion. Su, want to lead the way?" Remey was acting as the main motivation right now which was not surprising since she wanted to learn as much as possible before the king got to the city and they would be stuck in negotiations. There was also the looming fact that they would leave for the dwarven kingdom soon after. 

Su gave a slight nod. She wanted to meet Bree as well since she was always a punctual person herself. Midnight and Onyx were paired up and ready to head out themselves. Walker saw that Midnight was giving her a look and could feel she was still hungry. He pulled some meat from his inventory and let her have at it befdopre they walked out the door and descended the branches.

"Other than the glowing bell mushrooms what eles should I have my eyes out for?" Gil wanted top keep a sharp eye out for anything that he could harvest and bring back. This was a valuable chance for him to use some of his foraging skills on new plants.

"We can look for some of the red ore vines. They eat away at ores in the ground and look like rust. They are perfect for salves, There's also some of the fluorescent moss that grows anywhere it is dark. It is pretty common in any mine or even some cellars but it is great for filtering water. Many people bring it along on adventures. As long as it is not left in the sunlight long it can live for years." Remey was already falling in to her newly found lecture mode. 

Walker was sure that she was just happy to have the knowledge to share with all of them and he did his part to memorize what she was telling him. He never knew what would be useful in the future. "The only thing I know we must not touch is the blue cave grass. There are small blue thoughts of grass that look innocent enough, but they are loved by the rock mice and if you get the scent of it on you they will follow you everywhere."

Su was curious why the rock mice were so worrisome, she had heard about them being small cute monsters that never harmed anyone. "Why would we need to avoid having them follow us?" 

"If they follow us in high number the other monsters might come to hunt them and by them, I mean us too," Remey explained the exact thing she had been told by Trish before. It was the reason why Trish did not grow any of the blue cave grass in the hanging garden. The rock mice didn't fear the highest if they could nibble on their favorite snack. 

"Not touching the blue cave grass. Understood." Gil was not setting the goal to have a following of mice, let alone a monster hunting for prey. 

"What would be hunting them in the caves?" Walker wondered if there was a monster that Remey wanted to avoid in particular. They may have been after a glowing mole but he was sure that they would run in to others as well.

"I was told that they are the main prey of the sharp tongued bats. Trish said they wouldn't bother with us as long as we don't bother them. But they can definitely cause us trouble." Walker listened to this and was not excited about this risk. Remey had heard a lot from Trish but at the same time, he wasn't sure how the crystal craftsmen were able to safely work. 

"I am less excited than before but it's good to know." Gill looked a little worried. Knowing that he would be limited and unable to sue his bow the same as he usually would make him uncomfortable. He was going to face a flying enemy that would be an easy target normally for him, but now it would not be due to the terrain. 

"We will do great. We have someone to guide us there and we know what we are going after. The best thing we can do is mentally prepare ourselves so that we can stay focused and get the quest done." Walker said these motivating words as he knocked on the door to Brees' shop before entering. 

"Hello?"

"He's here!"

"Let's play tag again!" 

"Show us more magic" 

"Who are these people?"

Walker was instantly surrounded by the spirits who fluttered around like energized hummingbirds. "These are the elemental spirits that are bonded with Bree. They are excited to meet you all." Walker shared this and saw that Gil and Remey were still not acquainted with spirits just yet. Their faces showed the curiosity and small amount of fear that Walker was sure his had at first too.
