In reply to: Addo 's message, "A battle of bandits" on 11:16:55 11/06/03 Thu

A few rushed moments later, Addo and the young lady were safely tucked deep into the woods. Though no trail guided them, they both seemed more than capable to navigate the thick undergrowth easily. Having found what was actually a rather attractive setting, they stopped their flight in order to rest and to make sense of the situation. Now they could fully take on the beauty of the surroundings... a brook, complete with crystal-clear water fountaining from a shining rock and into a deep blue pool, large wonderous flowers, and soft green grass amidst the large and gorgeous trees.

Addo stopped, catching his breath. The girl stared at him for a moment, clasping her hands together at her chest. She wore a dress clearly not designed for travelling, that bore many stains and tears. Reflecting, Addo could tell that the sheer worness of that dress would indicate that it's uncomelinesses could not have been caused fully in the bandit raid. In fact, it looked like she'd not seen a change of clothes in days... days of harsh travel. At last she broker her silence, tears swelling at the corners of her eyes.

"Thank you sir! Thank you!" She almost cried, "Oh what a wonderful turn of luck after I thought I was so done in! You're a hero, you wonderful, wonderful man!"

She continued for a moment of sobbing elation, then cleared herself and was trying to adjust her apperance. It seemed she finally realized how unkempt she must seem, and had gotten fairly self-conscious about it.

"I'm sorry sir, if I look foul... but perhaps I should introduce myself. I am Elandra, and I am in dire trouble."
