A Jaunt To The West
Ventures like this were not uncommon when it came to Byron and Tailen, since they were the two men of the family and sometimes made such trips. Well... Byron was quite grown, of course, Tailen on the other hand had a few more years to get there. Even so, there were times when one of the residents of the village needed something a bit out of the way, so when Byron would volunteer to make such a trip, Tailen was often pressing to go along if only to keep him company most of the time.
This time was no different, naturally, as the brothers were asked to head toward the Hills of Deception to meet with one of the clans there. A shipment of tools was needed to be sent to the Village of Highland Cattle, which Ilakai had provisioned for them and simply needed a courier to deliver it there. The boys would be provided the details for the delivery once they came to claim the tools, but first, they had to prepare for what would likely be a fortnight's journey on foot for themselves.
It was a good thing Byron was able to live off the land, and with Tailen's modest grasp of foraging, he knew at least a few herbs that could be helpful; along with what berries or mushrooms that could be eaten or avoided.
