[QUOTE="Old One, post: 3745988, member: 83"] [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Bronwyn and Cai exchanged worried glances...the air just felt [I]wrong[/I]. The huntsman froze, motioning the Celtic woman to stillness. [I]"There is is again,"[/I] he hissed. She nodded and slowly drew an arrow, nocking it swiftly. The crack of ice-rimed snow preceded the explosion of frozen branches by the merest heartbeat. [I]"There!"[/I] called Cai, gesturing wildly to east. Swirling snow raced down the slope, crackling with malice. Bronwyn snapped off a shot, but the cystaline cloud swallowed the missile without a hiccup. Cai desperately swung his horn to his lips, but only managed a feeble burst before the numbing cold froze the wind in his lungs. Still, the sound carried well across the icy vale. Artorious, Warlord of Britain, wearily pulled the Sword of Brude from its scabbard. [I]"Come...my friends...our companions are in need."[/I] Without waiting for a reply, he spurred his mount back into the vale...back towards death.[/COLOR] [B][U]Ride of the Winter King - Grim Tales/Mythic Heroes/[S]True Sorcery[/S][/U][/B] Having stopped the horrid Saxon sacrifice on the Winter's Solstice, Artorius and his stalwart band are attempting to elude roving bands of furious Saxon warriors bent on revenge and make their way west, back to their winter quarters at Aquae Sulis.
