Hiking up the mountain wasn't the easiest thing in the world thought Issac. For one, despite Issac's almost complete resistance to both heat and cold, the high altitude of the mountain range chilled Issac to his very Corrupted cold and even Marry, a native of this plane barely managed to last only slightly longer than Issac did. Only through use of his magma breath did the three manage to have atleast some warmth as they climbed higher and higher, watching the plant life diminish as they progressed further up.

The entire travel there took about three days, and had left the entire party exhausted. Regardless they continued, Issac didn't want to spend another second letting the tyrannical Cloud King to get away with his corrupt deeds, however right now they had to focus on the objective.
By the time it was around noon, the three found themselves taking a break at a small plateau on the cloud mountain.
Ilvir was sitting at the edge the plateau looking in awe at the view of the shining sun pouring it's light over the white landscape. Issac briefly wondered if the sun was also made of cloud as well.
"Quite the view isn't it? Have anything like this on your world?" Marry asked, wearing a set of warm hiking gear rather than her armor which was placed beside her as she sat on a cloud rock.
"Yes, though I have to admit I haven't seen quite a view like this before we got here." Issac answered, unaware that he was partly looking at Ilvir's granite ass sitting on the side of the plateau, his large stone balls visible from behind.
Marry smiled softly but her face turned serious when Issac turned to her and asked about their progress.
Pulling out a topographical map of the region from her backpack, she layed it on the lumpy and began pointing at the plateau they were currently resting on, then trailing he returned fingers up a mountain path that led higher into another plateau about five hundred feet above them, explaining as she went.
"Even with your slow speed we have actually made a surprising amount of progress, usually at this point we would've been attacked by a pack of feral animals or atleast a blizzard climbing up here, so it seems like Lord Fate and Lady Luck have blessed us here for now." She said, circling her finger around the higher plateau above them. "Higher up the mountain packs of pegasi are often found, with this area here being a well known grazing spot for any herd. Most herds tend to have their own leader, the largest one usually have the strongest amount of innate air magic. If we can get you to absorb one of those, I imagine we'll have no problems until we get to the Sky King's castle."
"I see, how long until we get there?" Issac asked.
"Only a few more hours on foot if everything goes well." Marry answered.
"Shall we head off then?" Issac said.
"Of course."
