After taking a long night's rest at the riftwall, Clover and his gang began to set off-

Amelia: Wait! You're going to need this.

Amelia gives Clover a map of New Mekkan.

Clover: Oh! Thanks!

And they truly begin to set off.

As they march to the Lynx Kingdom, Clover takes a good look at the map and grows curious.

Clover: Hey, Flora?
What are the other nations like?

Flora: Oh! Well...
The biggest nation here is the Wolf Kingdom.
They're kinda our number 1 supplier of mana crystals.

Clover: ... Huh?

Flora: Y'know our source of magic?

Clover: ...?

Flora: (sigh) The blue crystals at the cave I found you in.

Keith: ... Are we going to explain every detail about this mountain to them, aren't we?

Flora: Yeah.

Legacy: So Keith, what was it like in your home?

Keith: Personal.

Legacy: I was only asking-

Keith: I SAID!
It's personal.

Legacy: ... Fine.

As the five continue their journey in the trees, two shadowy figures are seen observing the heroes.

Natani: Lord Sycthe needs to hear about this...

Zen: Later, but first we have to continue observing those guys.m
We don't know their motivations or whether they're malicious.

Natani: Right.

The wolves continue to observe the gang.
...

"Okay, we're doing fine so far."

THE VOID

Ephemural: Although it seems soon the Wolves are going to be aware, I don't think it's anything to worry about.
Right Doctor?

...
Doctor?

The Doc in question:

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS AND VALUE THE FUN

Mercurial: BRUSH THOSE THEORIES OFF NOW.

GASTER & Mercurial: OUR MYSTERY MYSTERY MAN!

GASTER and Mercurial continue singing sea shanties.

Ephemural: ... (sigh) Idiots.
