  Silva and Oro are about to officially embark on their journey and leave Uncle Rob's cabin in Rover Heights.

  Silva: Alright Oro it's time we finally leave this cabin!

  Oro: (Barks)

  Silva and Oro travel through the outskirts of Rover Heights to Creatures Creek and eventually reach the entrance of Rattlesnake Canyon. They find a nearby, steep slope to walk down.

  Silva: Oro, I'm famished, how bout you?

  Oro: (Tilts his head in a curious manner)

  Silva grabs some food to feed Oro and a portable dog bowl. As he pours the food into the bowl, the ground shakes and the ground vibrates.

  Silva: Must be one of the earthquakes already huh.

  Suddenly, Silva notices a giant figure walking towards them from behind. He ignores it at first but the figure inches closer and closer without changing direction.

  Silva: (nervous tone) Hey whoever it is, stay away. We are not ones to mess with!

  Oro: (Barks)

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  The figure turns out to be an enormous mountain of a man who stands at an impressive 8 feet tall.

  Oro hides behind Silva and they inch back a bit.

  Mysterious man: (Grins) Hey stranger! Didn't mean to scare ya.

  Silva: (Sighs of relief) It's okay. You don't look like you're from here, what brings ya out here?

  Mysterious man: My name is Salv Starrc. I am just traveling in search of rare materials across Instivale.

  Silva: Name's Silva Belmonte, and this is my pal Oro.

  Oro: (barks in a friendly manner and wags tail)

  Salv: Nice to meet ya Silva, I assume you're a local here then?

  Silva: Yessir. I am leaving my home though to pursue my climbing career.

  Salv: Oh wow, that's quite a profession Silva.

  Salv: I actually came by cause I smelt food and noticed y'all from afar.

  Silva: Haha I was just feeding Oro is all.

  Salv: Oh damn food is scarce in the canyon from what I've learned.

  Silva: Yeah it really is.

  Salv: Wait a second. (Holds his hand out and sniffs. His eyes narrow.) You do have more food.

  Silva: Nahhh.

  Salv: No need to hide from me now that we are acquainted.

  Silva: Listen here Starc, I ain't giving up my only food supply for my pup and I to some hungry stranger.

  Salv: (Frowns) What did you just say?

  Silva: Sorry man, I'm not giving away my limited food.

  Salv: No not that. You said Starc-

  Silva: Yeah what's wrong with that-

  Salv: That's not how you say my last name, you pronounce it like this: Starrrrc.

  Silva: (Sarcastically) Okay, Mr. Starrrrc. Still not getting an ounce of my food.

  Salv: I don't like your tone young man, why don't you help out your elder over here by sharing! It's getting late anyways.

  Silva: If you wanna help me hunt for food tonight, fine. But the food in my bag is for emergencies only.

  Salv: Fair enough. (Stands proudly) Alright, Silva we shall join forces and find some grub in this canyon!

  Silva: You're one strange dude Salv Starc.

  (Salv clears his throat)

  Silva: I mean Starrc.
