The sun was posed high in the late afternoon sky as Shoto, Izuku, and Katsuki trekked along the wooded dirt path. Bags were carried on their backs, holding what supplies they needed. The three had been traveling for some time now, and Katsuki in particular wanted to get to the next town quickly.

"How much longer, dammit?!" Katsuki yelled as Izuku squinted at a map.

"Another day, so we'll have to stop and rest again for the night," Izuku said as Shoto peered over his shoulder.

Katsuki growled with impatience, the stomping of his boots leaving imprints in the dirt. It was weird to be traveling without Kirishima by his side, and he planned to get the stupid dragon back as soon as possible.
