((Continued from "Searching for History".))
The travellers, with their guide, traversed through the forest, which grew ever thinner with each step. Silas then directed the group north through the underbrush. All was quiet in the forest. Not a bird sang out in joyous melody. Unease began to grip the troup. The smell of smoke and other, more unpleasent things got more intense with every step.

Rakko stepped up and moved away some brush in the diretion of the smoke. He leaned over to Silas and whispered, "Is that yer horde, matie?" The Abbess and Soubi stayed a few feet behind, not wanting to destract the two warriors.

In the bushes, something..moved. From the sound, it was impossible to tell what it was.

"Hold on mate..." Silas whispered to Rakko. He slowly drew one dagger from his arm sheath. "We're bein' watched. Abbess, get behind me an' Rakko. You too, Soubi." Then Silas swung around to face the source of the noise.

There was a small squeak, and sounds of a scuffle. " get offa me!" a smal voice said indignantly. It was.... a small mousebabe, no more than 4 seasons old. His clothes were torn and dirty, he was skinny, as if he hadn't eaten in awhile.

The Abbess cooed and walked past Rakko. "You pore thing. Are you ok?"
**I thought he was an otter?**

Silas held the small eavesdropper up to eye level with himself. "Shh!" he said to the tiny figure.

The Abbess brushed him off. "Whats yer name little one?" Rakko looked doubtfully at the young one.
**Ye should change yer display name...**

Silas put him down. "What's your name, mousebabe? and where did you come from?" The last thing I need is a little 'un following us into a warzone... he thought.

Rakko looked at him suspiciously. "Do ye think he's a spy for the horde? Or a slave judgying by his apearence. Theres no way a mousebabe could have a tresure like that." The Abbess glared at Rakko then looked back to the mouse. "Hello Dwopple. My name is Abbess Serval and this is Soubi, Rakko, and our new friend Silas. **Can silas post first**
