Theanore and Marinus were walking and talking.
"Mari, does the trail go all the way to the top?" Theanore asked. Marinus looked up.
The trail seemed unending, but there was only one way to be sure!
"Tania, does the trail reach the peak?" Marinus asked, hoping they were still in the range of communication.
It does. And you will find a surprise up there! Just watch your steps now, children.
"That's great!" Theanore exclaimed as she followed Marinus up the slope. "Tania, how much longer do we have to walk?"
Three hours and about thirty more minutes at your current speed. When you reach the two-hour mark, you will be out of my communication range.
That made Theanore worried.
But then she gave herself some courage. This was her first adventure! She could overcome it!
The two fireflies were buzzing close to their feet and so when there was a small bump in the trail Theanore saw it. She sidestepped it and returned to watching the trail.
