Arriving at a rocky cliff Arlo and Paimon had been decending, while Lina had said that she'd continue a bit forward to see it there was a path leading down.
Pretty much expecting him to say not to get lost again, but to her surprise he had only nodded, but she felt like he might as well had said it anyway.

Dimas was moving forward in a steady pace, constantly keeping an eye on where he put his hooves down.
Lina meanwhile looked around, sometimes looking at a map they had been given.
After what could have been maybe 15 minutes Dimas stoped and Lina looked infront of them.
The cliff had ended and if Dimas had kept going they would have taken a very long fall.
Taking a quick look at the forest below them, it seemed a bit wierd, with what could maybe be rocks showing above the trees here and there.

Sighing Lina thought that maybe they should turn around and try to go down the same way that Arlo and Paimon had taken.
Looking back it seemed to her like the landscape had slightly shifted but she wasn't really sure.
Dimas nickering got her out of her thoughts.
She looked down at the stallion who was looking up at her.
"What do you think we should do Dimas?"
Dimas looked to their left, Lina followed his gaze and saw what seemed to be a slight slope downwards.
"Think you can handle it boy?"
Dimas threw his head up and down and started to walk towards the slope.

Carefully desending the slope, Lina leaned back to make it easier for Dimas.
She'd let go of the reins and was holding onto the saddle, trusting her mount to get them both down safely.
Sometimes Dimas would almost slide down a bit because of to much loose dirt, but other then that it went well.
Soon they came to a slight outcropping where Lina motioned Dimas to get to.
Dismounting she checked his legs to see if he'd gotten hurt during one of their slides.
But he was fine.
Nickering softly he nudged Lina's shoulder.
She stood up and stroked his cheek.
Looking to the side she wasn't really sure if it was Arlo and Paimon she saw, whatever it was it seemed to be pretty far away.
At least Dimas' coat stood out well from the cliffs brown-grey color.

After letting Dimas rest for a bit they kept going down the slope in a slow pace.

Well~~~~ It would seem I'm on a spree here, I had planned to keep it shorter
