Rave and Calmir started off right in the search for Wren. For a short time there was no words spoken between the two, but eventually Rave spoke up.
"Why would this man want Wren anyway?" she commented whispering to the other. "She held no more significance than any of the rest of us."
Callo shook his head. As they walked on, Rave began to feel the real horror of the land around. The Barrow-Downs were not a pleasant place to be in by any chance...especially if you were living.
"Why did this man have to choose the Downs anyway?" Rave spoke aloud, yet silently. "Any other place...but this would make even the strongest of Men fearful."
"Just be glad we havn't seen any of those wights around," Calmir replied. "They are what you should fear. It is not simply the land which makes this place so evil...but the creatures inside the Downs."
"Very true," Rave said with a slight smile. Suddenly a noise was heard off to the left of them. They turned towards the sound, but Rave could see nothing due to the dreadful darkness surrounding their position in the wilderness.
