For hours Noah only heard the rattling of cargo boxes from the carriage he sneaked into from the previous town he was in. It felt like torture to just sit and patiently wait to arrive at his destination. Timbermere was the name of the next town that the owner of the carriage said he was heading to, from what Noah over heard in the previous town. He heard rumors of a new guild being established at the highest mountain peak on the outskirts of Timbermere. This sparked a curiosity from the male, he always was moving from one place to the other, taking on small contracted jobs, but he had ultimately decided that maybe there should be a change of pace in his journey. Joining a guild has crossed his mind before, though he wanted to make sure he joined a guild suitable for himself. While pondering on what this new guild would be like, he noticed an abundance of noises coming from outside the carriage. He instantly jumped from where he was seated in the carriage, scooting to the quilted fabric which was layered over a wooden frame. His head peaked out from behind the cloth, his eyes widening in excitement from witnessing the crowds of people walking from each small shop to the next. Jumping out from the carriage rather quickly, landing onto the ground at ease, he leaned himself up along with a deep inhale through his nostrils. Soon after he exhaled softly through his mouth in satisfaction, feeling the nice relaxing breeze from the mountains flow through the strands of his hair. "Phew. . another minute in that cramped thing and I would of lost my mind!"
Shortly after his comment, Noah began sniffing out an aroma that was flowing through the air, he knew straight from the start it was the scent of freshly cooked meat. He was stuck for hours without substance, so he took it upon himself to track out where this scent was originating from. Pacing over in curiosity, it lead him to a small shop that sold freshly grilled meats attached to a stick. His dire state of hunger came over him, he quickly rushed to the shop keeper, digging into his pouch for the left over jewels he had. Though he also had another intention in mind, approaching the shop keeper in a rush with the jewels on hand, he spoke rather quickly, "Hey shop keeper! Snag me one of those good looking delicacies for me please! Also! Do you happen to know if there is a guild around here? And if so, which direction should I go?" The shop keeper paused for a moment, but soon gave a small chuckle to Noah. Handing him the delicate meat while exchanging the jewels that Noah offered for the edible. "Not from around here huh? Well since you've done business at my shop, the least I can do is point you in the right spot! Behind ya you'll see that tall mountain that stands out from the rest, that one is where the guild can be found at, the very peak of it! Can't miss it! But it is a rigorous climb so if you do feel confident enough you'll reach the top, then shoot for it." The shop keeper pointed behind Noah, showing him the rather large mountain off in the distance.
Noah opened his mouth, taking a rather large bite of his meal before turning around, squinting his eyes a bit, he saw the mountain passed all of the vertically designed buildings in the area. Quickly swallowing the substance in his mouth, he shifted his body towards that direction the shop keeper pointed. Moving his left arm up to wave at the shop keeper while he departed. "Ahh alright I see it! Thank you, i'll make sure to come back here again, the food is great!" Taking one more step, Noah's body blurred and quickly dashed around the crowd of people. The locals that happened to see him come by only could make out a humanoid object that blurred past their vision, with a small gust of wind blowing by them afterwards. Using this speed, he scaled up to the buildings in order to keep a steady visual of the mountain. Reaching the roofs, he began to jump from one roof top to the next until he approached the base of the mountain. Landing onto the ground he decided to take a moment to gaze the structure of the mountain while finishing off his meal. He took note that the cloud cover surrounded majority of the mountain, so he couldn't determine how exactly high this mountain was. Tossing the stick from the left over meal to the ground, he tilted his neck to the right, a loud popping noise was made from his joints. Soon he tilted it to the left to mimic the exact noise, hopping in place while he let his arms dangled slightly to loosen himself up. His eye brows slanted downward gently while a smirk started to form on his face, leaning his body forward and bending his knees to adjust a running posture, his body began to radiate a soft blue aura which outlined his body. Quickly sprinting forward towards the base of the mountain, he began to grab onto the rock formation which inclined upward, hopping and jumping onto each solid piece of rock which he deemed safe enough to use as a platform for him to climb.
The more he climbed up the colder and thinner the atmosphere became. It seemed as if he was at this for hours, his finger tips show a irritated red color from the rugged rock formation and cold temperatures. But he was determined to reach the peak, at this point he was within reach of the cloud formation surrounding the mountain. "Hehe. . man that shop keeper wasn't joking. This is a lot more harder than I expected. ." Noah knew he couldn't keep doing this for long. He allowed himself to dangle from a ledge of the rock formation in order to quickly catch his breath, once he felt comfortable enough he propelled himself up the side of the mountain to quickly scale it. Finally breaking through the layer of clouds, Noah shot up into the air, finally having some form of visibility. He landed onto a platform that was much more flatter than most of the terrain around here. Leaning over while resting his hands onto his knee caps, he began to pant from exhaustion. His head leaning up to see what was around him, his panting began to suddenly slow, his Prussian blue hued eyes slowly began to widen. He saw a large structure just a few meters away. He was certain this was it, this was the guild that was located at the peak of the mountain. Though before he could shout in excitement, he noticed a creature off within the same direction as the structure was located, gazing at this creature he slowly began to pick out features. It had four legs, rather bulky, it's skin texture was white. Both of Noah's eyebrows raised in question. "Is that a horse. . ? All the way up here. . ?"
