Aaron plodded the path of the forest, much unlike his noble stature. Aelimur noted this, but did not do anything to change it. He could tell why his horse's head was lower. It was this dreadful place, this horribly dark, damp, spirit infested place.

His eye's past by almost all, though it wasn't much to see. Everything was cold, lifeless. He focused his mind on just going forward, this place scared him, it was horrid. He pitied the trees, they had to live here. He pitied the ground, so seemingly rarely it had a use. He pitied the air most though; Full of death and haunting quiet. Filled with forgotten spirits.

"This place is possesed." he whispered silently, "We should travel through it quickly." he had not truly directed this at anyone, but Crystal Heart had heard him.

"I have not heard a truer word since this journey began." she replied, just as silently. Aelimur looked to the tops of the trees, conversation was good, it lifted the gloom oh so slightly.

"I thank you for agreeing. Conversation lightens this land, and it is also nice to have someone say that you are right." he smiled slightly as he said this, and then asked a question that had been there for a while, yet no one had noticed it. "Why did you care to join, Crystal?"

The young woman hesitated, before answering flatly, "I joined because I needed the money."

"Really?" asked Aelimur in slight surprise, "I thought from you there would be more of a reason."
