[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4935301, member: 46559"] The path does seem long; the hours passing with aching slowness in the sodden marsh heat. The sky is sullen and gloomy, making the passage of time difficult to measure, and adding to the oppressive interminability of the trek. Apikotoa leads tirelessly, moderating his pace to Gildrim's wounds, and avoiding the worst of the sticky mud with the ease of a lifetime's experience. An exhausted night is spent in the shelter of a hollow tree, and the grim journey continues in the morning. Gildrim feels somewhat better for the rest and further healing. Late on the second day, the open standing water begins to give way to beds of reedy water plants and lilies. Apikotoa picks clear pathways through them, and soon Gildrim is gratified to be splashing through ankle-deep water rather then slogging through up to his waist. At last, the swamp gives way to a thick mud that, though it barely qualifies as dry land, can at least be walked on rather than in. The clouds have thinned a bit, allowing a bit of reddish light through from the west, where lies the road north towards Orussus. Apikotoa stops. [COLOR="SeaGreen"]"Thees ees where I must turn back. My people need me. You have dealt weeth me fairly. I weel tell my people thees, and they weel not harm you, should you return. Farewell."[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
