After the long, tormenting night, the company finally left the insect infected marshland. Following Awyrgan, Brytta and his friends traveled west for an hour before turning north, leaving the swamp behind them. The companions walked quicker now, with the end of their journey in sight.
It took three days to reach the north downs. Passing around Fornost warily, the group soon reached the formost of the low hills. Brytta and Heldor began looking for a place to build a shelter, while the others set up a temporary camp. Brytta's party soon sat around a fire, eating the last of their packed provisions. Everyone was tired and footsore, but joyful that the journey had been successfully completed. Though Brytta had expected Awyrgan to leave as soon as they had reached the North Downs. However, after the meal he merely sat back on a log and smoked quietly. Brytta thus decided to ask him about it. "Awyrgan, we thank you profusely for your guiding of us through the wilderness. But when will you be taking your leave of us?" The ranger continued to smoke quietly, and for a moment Brytta thought that Awyrgan had missed his question altogether. "I will linger here a while longer, Brytta. For I do not believe that your troubles are over yet." [ September 05, 2003: Message edited by: Himaran ] |
