A very young Ion, before he met Zephyr and Flint. Almost every weekend, his family would take these trips outside the city of Eios as it was one of the few things that made Ion happy around this age. At this point in time Ion didn't really have any friends and was somewhat bullied a lot so he was use to being alone. He was aloud to venture off into the woodlands nearby the campsite they stayed at, as Ion had really good tracking and outdoors skills for his age, and his parents wanted to support his lust for adventure. Ion would carry around a self made map of the area he would continually make, as every time he went here, he would go to new areas and explore, drawing out what he could come across, enjoying the mystery of his untraveled areas, dreaming of one day having these kind of adventures all over the world, as that would be his true pleasure
