Evelyn Ford marked her path as she went, making sure she wouldn't get lost on the way down. After about forty minutes, she had ventured deep into the mountains.
She found a grassy spot to sit down, took a bottle of water from her space, and downed it in a few gulps. Then, Evelyn began to survey her surroundings.
Though many trees had died, the mountain forest remained dense. The ground was littered with animal droppings, and small blades of grass and wild vegetables were sprouting up everywhere. After a ten-minute rest, Evelyn took out her Crossbow, ready to venture deeper into the mountains.
She remembered a news report from her childhood: that Broken Cloud Mountain, in addition to being an ecological botanical garden and wildlife sanctuary, was also rich in various mineral resources. A group of people had been caught illegally mining for silver there and were all sentenced to death.
Evelyn had only one purpose for coming to the mountain: to find ore.
