[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 2814218, member: 2012"] Bactra and Joshian walked all night in order to reach the old mill before daybreak. Joshian was learning what it was like to become exhausted. He needed the Reverie and soon. If Jax turned out to not be at the mill then Joshian would insist that they rest there before continuing on. The elven woodsman looked at his cousin with admiration. Bactra was almost as tired as Joshian, but he seemed resilient. The mill came into view just as the light of the sun began to radiate the darkness of the night’s sky in the distance. The mill was a mess by human standards but was still used by the human citizens of Brawley. The windmill’s sail-fans were tattered and stained by ages of use and its brick and mortar was crumbling. Joshian took one look and decided he didn’t want to rest inside the structure. “That is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. How can humans let something like this happen? It’s ready to fall apart.” “Actually, this old mill has been standing here for over five-hundred years. It has stood the test of time including the Ogre Wars and the machinations of grasping warlords and kings. It’s tougher than it looks.” “It’s still uglier than a bugbear.” “I never said it was beautiful.” Bactra laughed. “So do you think that Jax is really here?” Joshian looked around for any signs of tracks or a fire. “It’s not like you’re the best tracker in the world.” “True, but I know Jax and how he thinks.” Bactra quickened his stride as they neared the mill. “I just hope there isn’t anything living in there. The humans only use this mill when their crops are overflowing and it has been a lean year.” “Great, just what we don’t need. What are you thinking? Wild animals or something more sinister?” “Well, what do your senses tell you, cousin?” Bactra stopped one-hundred feet from the mill and waited for Joshian to give the area the once over. The elven ranger scanned the surrounding countryside studying the fields of grain intently. He took a few steps closer sniffed the air and then bent down to study the path they were following. He jerked his head around and whispered to Bactra. “This is bad,” Joshian stood up slowly. “Some kind of vermin-like creature has passed by here recently.” “Spiders?” “Let’s pray it’s only that for Jax’s sake.” The two forest elves approached the old mill as slowly and quietly as possible, their weapons ready for anything. As they neared the structure they both realized that the mills sail-fans were covered in some sort of strand-like substance. “Definitely spiders.” Bactra said nervously. “I hate spiders.” * * * [/QUOTE]
