"We nearly didn't make it.It's all thanks to my friend just now that we managed to get here.We nearly doubled back to take the road you guys took!" she whined.

"Your friend helped you over? She has that much authority here?"

Jason voiced his confusion.

"No, but I heard that her uncle calls the shots around here, so we got in under his name" Vivian explained.

Comprehension dawned on Jason.He made no further comment, and the two continued to walk further into the woods.

After a kilometer or so, they found an obscure spot to hide.

"Ah!"

Just as they had settled in, Vivian's high-pitched scream pierced the still air.

With a jolt, Jason turned to check on Vivian.

However, before he could react, the young girl sprang up to her feet and bolted out of the hideout.

"A snake!" Her shriek seemed to reverberate through the whole forest.

Jason had no choice but to chase after her.

Thankfully, being a princess who was a stranger to the wilderness, Vivian finally slowed to a stop in front of a hill.

"S-Snake..." She panted, depleted of energy.

Jason approached her and began to calm her down.
