Exploring

It would turn out that those strange creatures are part of something much larger. Earth elemental's in fact. We found this out the hard way today after being put into a trial hearing about our crimes. Quick thinking on our party though, they don't seem to be very smart. We gave them a star pin as payment for our 'crimes'. They accepted and we walked free unscathed.
 
We've been traveling through this wilderness for a few days now. The warned us of the danger out here, which I understand. However, I cant help but feel comfort as I walk through. In the early mornings, the dew glimmers from the sun. As the day heats up, the fog rises into the air and the sun rays shine through as we walk. Its such a beautiful view that I can't truly put into words. Is this the meaning of wandering? The beauty of exploration?
