Subject: Through the Woods
In reply to: Elandra 's message, "The beginnings of a plan" on 00:43:23 11/19/03 Wed

Addo forced himself to hold back a smile as Elandra became emotional.

"No worries Lady Elandra, I know this area well, it should not take us long to reach the gateway. We will use the woods, I will keep us hidden...and please don't call me Sir. I am no Knight."

Addo paced the area, making sure that evidence of their passage was erased, and began to lead a path through the woods towards the trod. Fate had led him to this woman. He would follow where it led him. It had never led him wrong, he thought.

"Keep close, it will be dark soon, and we have plenty to be wary of."

Elandra followed Addo as instructed, trusting him for now to bring them to their destination. Addo moved through the woods like they were natural to him, recalling some of his youth, when he would play in these woods, climbing in the trees, not to mention the more then occassional tryst. The old paths were worn over, but the major markings were the same. The large oak tree with a heart carved into it, the initials D.F. and E.K. in the middle. The marking was covered with a vines, but he found it after the second try, smirked, and waved Elandra on with him continuing on their way.

As they continued he heard what he was looking for, a quiet flow of water. He moved towards it, and found the split. Addo whispered to Elandra.

"This stream becomes larger further down, and feeds into Pedrimor City, we're not too..."He froze and covered her lips with his hand gently. He had noticed a bear that had wandered up to the stream. He showed Elandra, whispering softly in her ear "He can't see us...we'll just wait till he goes, then continue. We're very close." He released his hand with an apology that sounded truthful.

They waited till the bear took his drink and wandered away, then walked to the edge of the woods. Addo turned to her. "So where is this trod?"
