Amara had grown stronger over the past week, her powers no longer draining her as much as they once did. She didnt tell Orion, but she practiced off and on when she was alone as well as with her teachers. Amara didnt want to disappoint anyone so she made sure to keep up on her lessons. The archery was a little more difficult to practice on her own, so she couldnt practice that. When she heard the knock on the door she walked over. "I'm ready" she said as she opened it. A small smile was on her face. She felt rather excited about going out to see where the new possible home could be.

Orion nodded at what Amara said to him, but instead of saying anything he beckoned for someone with his hand. A lizardman with a set of leather armor showed up and showed off the armor to Amara. "It's not the armor that you asked to be made, but it should fit you well and serve you in the meantime until the new piece of armor is complete." It wasn't incredibly special, however it should suffice for the upcoming trip. "Get the armor on and head out here and we'll talk about getting ready to go."

Amara looked at the armor, a shocked look on her face. She felt it for a moment, realizing it wasnt just the kind that looked like armor. Looking up at Orion, she held her shocked look before she spoke again. "Thank you so much" she said with a smile before she put it on and got situated. "I know you might think this isnt much, but thank you. I appreciate it so much" she said.

"You're welcome Amara." He was about to walk back to the throne to talk to everyone, but everyone was already there, save for the undead who weren't going to divert from their orders to stand at their spot unless Orion told them otherwise. "Since all of you are here, I will instruct everyone on what will happen right now. We are to all head out and take an in depth look that our scout teams have surveyed for us." He held out a hand to point to the lizardmen, before continuing on. "They have told us that there are... rather strange monsters that live there. They aren't aggressive inherently but do not take them lightly. These things have been reported to have long clawed hands and spikes along the spine of their back, so they are naturally dangerous." Everyone nodded quietly, with a few casting a glance at Amara and wondering if she was ready for a fight. "If there is nothing else anyone has to say then let's head out." He turned to Amara. "Anything you want to say before we leave?"

Amara followed Orion back to the throne room before she listened to him. When he mentioned the creatures, she tilted her head with cuiosity before she looked at the others around her. When Orion asked her if she wanted to say anything, she seemed a little hesitant. "If it's alright, this might sound odd, but I havent felt the grass on my feet in a long time. If there is a chance, I would like to run a little bit. Other than that, if anyone gets minor injuries, or any injuries, I will try to help heal them" she said.

A few of those in attendance couldn't help but grumble quietly at what Amara said, thinking that she was asking for something rather childish in all regards, but Orion thought otherwise. "That's... a reasonable request, and you can do just that as we head out. Everyone? Let's get moving." With that everyone began walking towards the entrance of the dungeon; lizardmen, undead, Sokoya... even a few werewolves came along as a thank you for how well the den was coming along, all the while Orion walked from the back, making sure that Amara didn't fall behind.

Amara looked almost embarrassed when she heard the others grumbling. Sure, it was odd, and she knew it, but at the same time, they didn't know about why she had to stop feeling free. She gave a grateful nod to Orion when he agreed and kept close as they headed out. She did keep to the back as she knew the others didn't trust her yet, and she didn't want to stick too close. When she spotted the grass, she carefully slipped off her shoes and smiled. The feeling of the grass on her feet gave her energy to run, though she didn't go too far. Small giggles could be heard from her before she made her way back towards Orion. "Thank you" she said as she placed her shoes back on. She hadn't been running long, only a couple minutes, but that's all she needed to feel content.

When everyone made their way out of the dungeon and Amara took off her shoes to feel the grass, Orion could hear the snickering from a few within the group that was heading with him to the new location, but one turn of the head silenced them all effectively. "You're welcome Amara. Now that that's done, let's move out towards this potential second home for everyone. Sokoya? Lead the way with the scout teams." He let his bodyguard and the lizardmen be on point since they would be able to get there effortlessly without risk of getting lost or taking an unessecary shortcut. While they were all walking, Orion was flanked by the undead that he controlled, one having a rather humanoid form but had skin stretched over its bones, while the other was a strange undead with two sides to his face, both incredibly wicked looking to match his ghastly body, but in front of Orion was the Spectre from earlier that vouched for Amara, who Orion asked for specifically to come with to help comminuicate with the monsters there if they were in the mood to talk.

Amara hadnt heard the snickering, but she was sure the others thought she was rather strange for the running around. Once she was back beside Orion she looked at him with curiosity. "How long of a walk" she asked. "I dont want to risk other humans spotting us" she added, not wanting to make it seem like she didnt want to have a long walk. That was far from the case, but she worried about the large group getting spotted. She heard about trying to make mist to hide them, but she wasnt sure she would be strong enough to hold it for long, and didnt want to risk collapsing.

"From what I've heard, it shouldn't be a very long walk. There have been some from the scouts that the distance could cause concern if human intervention was to happen, but I feel confident that we can come in and stop them in case it ever happens." Orion said, walking with a sense of purpose as the group continued moving, but within a minute of him saying this, the scouts came to the back and told him that they were within sight of the new area, and Orion walked with the scout that intentionally fell behind to tell him that piece of information to see the new area, and he liked what he saw. The area had a few different ruins along with an opening to a cave system, which piqued Orion's interest in regards to what could be held within, but before he could look inside the cave, the monsters that were reported from earlier showed up, their sharp claws and thin, sickly bodies shambling towards the group. The lizardmen raised their weapons and the undead were getting ready to launch at these monsters, but Orion stepped forward and stared a hole into the biggest of these monsters, which he assumed was the leader. The creature stepped forward and snarled at Orion, a hint of blood fresh on his serrated jaw, but Orion was unafraid.
