[color:"#00cccc"]We all headed off in the same direction as we had come
only a few days earlier...
It was a glorious day for a trip...Jolie and Willow decided
to take one of the horses and have a horseback ride together, it was a delightful sight to
see....hair blowing in the wind......carefree smiles on their faces.......
if i didn't know any better.......
Before setting off Jurak checked one side, and Womble checked the other,
of the wagon to be sure their belongings, and "stash of beverage" was secure,
[color:"orange"]
GooD HeRe, JuRaK, all secure! [/color]
Womble shouted!,lifting "meat" into the back of the sled along with "Fe",
because the two of them had made "pigs" of themselves!
Jurak made sure the other horse was tied to the wagon, which was being led
along, by a tow-rope to a hitch, on the rear of the sled, they were beginning to
acquire quite the "wagon train" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Viper had said he had a couple of matters to attend to, so we should start out
and he would be along shortly after.....
Womble came around the other side to get in the "Aimer's seat", so Jurak could
give directions and tell stories....looking back at the castle Jurak noticed
clear skies and bright sunshine, there were no more flashes of lightning!, or
claps of thunder!!......as if... all had been silenced by the death of Aganeth!
[color:"orange"]GiDDyaP!![/color]... mocked the excitable dwarf,
pretending to lash the reins of his... sled !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> [color:"orange"]
"Just as well the horses, takes up the rear, cuz... i can't stand the stench
of those smelly stallions!"[/color]
And they were off like a herd of turtles....Womble "steering, Jurak giving directions,
the rat and the pig, with their heads in the breeze,
the wagon and it's contents,.. the horse pulling that wagon, who was in turn,
being led by the sled, quite a sight i must say!
They travelled for a few hours and eventually reached the bridge at the river,
Willow and Jolie , being on the other horse, came up to the wagon and grabbed
a bucket, so the horse and animals could get a drink, they headed ...down
the side of the bank by the waters edge...
Jurak and Womble got out to stretch their legs,
and comment on what a nice day
it was, and how hot it was getting,
a little warm, annnd making womb thirsty...just as Willow and Jolie
came back with a bucket full of nice fresh, cold, river water,...
hearing Womble's comment on being thirsty......
the two "horsemen" couldn't resist throwing the contents of the bucket
all over the poor traumatized fella, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
but womble just "shook it off"
and said <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
[color:"orange"]
"thanks for the quick
shower.....it was most refreshing!"[/color] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
After their short stop at the bridge they carried onward......
over the dusty road, they could not remember it raining at all...come to think of it.
Jurak was mentioning his stories he'd heard from the "elders" in his
village...about a lost "legend or myth", of the lake with the
"Azure Mountians" as they were known, at least by the OrC race anyway!
There was talk of a hidden passageway through the mountians, that would exit
near the southwest side of Beregrost, where it joined with two roads,
one splits off and heads to the northwest, towards the town of
"SeaVilla" where Faile and her chums were,... the other to
Beregrost,Jurak also
mentioned a secret entrance to the peaks, but would have to think harder to
remember the rest of that!
Jolie's ears perked up when Jurak mentioned about the hidden passages, and
confirmed the story is also well known in his town, but the trail from his side
of town, exited somewhere on the side of the mountian, and had a roughly hewn
narrow stairway down to the valley..... this was news to Jurak....he could only
remember so much you know.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />
[color:"#33cc33"]Should we make a short stop at the magiK town
for some much needed bread,
and some fruit,
maybe a few hunks of meat...
it would only be short and we'd be back on the road in a jiffy!......[/color]
......and i have to go to the bathroom!......
they heard Willow say,
and laughed......... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
