“Can’t be. Already?” Milo gawked. “You said the trip would take a week.”

“I said that before those shocks made it easy for Littal to get through terrain that normally gives him fits. I planned on camping at the tree line tonight, if we got lucky.”

“Well, okay. That’s good, right?” Arthur looked around the town. “We can find your dad.”

“Yeah, we can. Whoo, I thought I’d have more time to get ready for this. And I have no idea where he is,” Milo said.

“I think I can help with that,” a young fox demon said loudly as he walked across the street. “You are looking for Minos?”

“He’s my dad. Yeah, I am. I’m looking for him. You know where he is?” Milo said, his words tripping over themselves.

“I do. The whole town does. He’s the most interesting thing to happen out here since… well, ever, as far as I know. And you know how frontier towns feel about explorers,” the fox said.

“I don’t,” Arthur volunteered.

“Oh, huh.” The fox demon rubbed the fur on his neck. “We like them. Right now, we’re on the edge of the civilization. Out there is an entire unsettled continent. Explorers help push the border back. Without them, we’re the last stop before wilderness. With them? We get help. Eventually.”

“Makes sense,” Milo said. “But listen, uh…”

“Velt,” the fox demon said.

“Velt. I’m pretty eager to see my dad, actually. And if Talca doesn’t need me…”

“I don’t. I’m just gonna stable Littal for the night and rest. We can meet up afterwards.”

“Then I’d like to see him as soon as I can.”

“Oh, right! Yeah, I can bring you there. I’m lucky I found you. I’m a crier. I know everything that’s going on.”

Spiky leaned over to Arthur. “He’s not sad. He’s a town news distributor type class. Sort of a social coordination role. In a town this small, they actually yell some important news out for people to hear, just in the center of the road.”

The fox started to move away. “He’s this way. I can take you. And your friends, if you want.”

Arthur looked at Milo, questioningly. He wouldn’t butt in if he wasn’t wanted. Spiky seemed to think the same.

“Probably tomorrow, guys. I’m not sure what kind of shape he’s in. I can find you tonight, or we can meet first thing in the morning,” Milo said.

“No problem. Spiky can explore the town with me until then,” Arthur said. He turned to the fox. “Can you help him find us tomorrow morning?”

“No problem. It won’t be very hard. Not that many places for you to go. It’s a small town. You’ll see.”

Milo and Velt moved off as Talca’s wagon rolled towards a large barn structure on the edge of town. Arthur and Spiky were now on their own time, with plenty of energy left for the day.

“Well, then. Ready to explore?”

Spiky dusted off his clothes. “Sure. Let's hit the town.”

As Velt had said, there wasn’t a lot of town to hit. There was the quarry Arthur had seen from a distance, which turned out to be an absolutely massive undertaking.
