Crystal had jumped up out of the dirt and had calmed her horse's fears that she could feel through the new bond that they had created almost instantaniously. She was rubbed the top of her horse's head and held her sword at the ready.
"Run Maen, I fear for you safety far more then anyone else in our company. You must ride!" Crystal whispered urgently as her ears seemed to stretch out to hear the barely audible sounds coming from what seemed to be all around them.
Every sense that she owned was on the alert and she didn't like it. There was an uneasy feeling of dread and danger looming in her mind. She hated these feelings. She had felt them too often in her past and it was a thing she had come to think of the worst memories when she felt danger and dread. Her memories of her father were tied to these feelings and she couldn't get out of her mind the thought that her father and his men had finally found her. She wondered if she had just put the lives of her new friend, Maen and her new found love, Atharen and the lives of the others in the company in grave danger.
