Chapter 2. The Northen Lights 2

Gray was preparing  for their journey to climb Mt. Gigantes with the Pandragon Paladins. He picked some routes, chose the safest one among them, and calculated the time, checked necessary equipment and food, and considered their weight. It seemed like his tasks were never ending. But, he had to prepare for such a dangerous trip.
While he was busy preparing for the journey, his friend Venom invited himself into his room.
"Hey! Gray! What's up?", Venom greeted Gray.
"Venom! How's it going?",Gray stood up and welcomed him warmly, "Why don't you take a seat first, I apologize the room is quite messy, haha."
"That's ok, I am here to help you. I heard that you are going to Mt. Gigantes with the Pandragon Princess and her Paladins, right?"
"How did you know that? It should be kept as secret."
Venom smiled, "Haha, it's not so secret anymore, Practically everyone knows about it."
The fact that the Pandragon Paladins are staying in Bifrost is already known by so many people, and it is also known that one of the best rangers, Gray Scavenger is going to be their guide. To put it simply, It was gossiped by so many people that they did not need GS to explain.
"By the way, are you confident with that?" Venom said, Indicating Route GS had prepared.
"Well, I will try, but it is still too dangerous."
"Oh?? THE BEST RANGER GS! Why are you scared? hahaha"
"Stop kidding around! and tell me the reason why you are here."
Venom hesitated to say for a while, and said, "To be honest..... I want to go with you!!"
"Huh? why?" GS said Shocked,
"Well, as you know.. I am learning magic."
"I know about that."
Gray nodded, Venom is the only magician who is able to use Ice magic. He has become a magician himself without any help from others.
"I want to go Da'ghal with the paladins. I want to learn magic there."
"You are becoming a real magician, Did you give up on becoming a ranger?"
"It's not like that. I am a ranger of Bifrost, but I really want to learn magic more. In Bifrost, I cannot improve my magic anymore."
Venom intended to learn magic from the Pandragon magicians as well. The magicians of Pandragon are well known as great magicians especially Elemental Magic, even some paladins are able to use magic.
"Ok, as you wish, you can join us. But we are leaving in 3 days. Can you be prepared by then?"
"Huh? that's too soon....."
"I cannot delay more, I have to pass the mountains before the season changes. It must be done within the spring and summer."
"Then, there's no choice. I will follow after I'm done with my preparations. Which route will you take?"
"I will head to Vashij Cave after that we will move to the Licar Tribe in the Northen Ice Field. From there, I will head to the east to get to the North of Da'ghal."
Venom looked so worried, "The Vishij Cave? Is'nt that too dangerous?"
"We have no choice, it's the fastest route to pass."
"Yeah.. with you, it will be fine. Ok, I will go now, see you later."
"Ok, take care!"
After Venom left, Gray checked his plans once again. 
After 3 days, 10/10, 1207 in Esgel Calender, Gray and the Pandragon Crusaders headed for Mt. Gigantes.
