[QUOTE="EarlyBird, post: 7221515, member: 6899077"] Tired beyond belief Rana's steps are heavy though not due to her fatigue. The road bends ahead and the nearly full moon lights the road well, but Rana's eyes are closed, squeezed shut to keep back the tears. She knows this path so well she needs no help in finding her way... home. [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]88343._xfImport[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [COLOR=#A52A2A]"Whose house was that?"[/COLOR] Aridha asks looking at the broken down cabin that the forest seems trying to swallow up. [COLOR=#008000]"Mine,"[/COLOR] Rana says softly. [COLOR=#008000]"Mine and Gill's, from years long, long ago."[/COLOR] Stepping as if wearing leaden shoes Rana makes it to the building and places a wrinkled hand on the wood, her eyes shut tight. After a moment Aridha kicks at the dirt, and the old crone's eyes shoot open.[COLOR=#008000] "Don't stand there. Undo the harness and take the frog out back to the stream. Then meet me inside."[/COLOR] The younger woman jumps at the familiar snap of Rana's commanding voice. Inside the cabin is a jumbled mess of leaves, branches, and bits and pieces of furniture mostly broken or wood beetle eaten. Rana goes to the fireplace as Aridha lays out their blankets. Above the fireplace is an oval shaped discoloration, where a painting of both her and her late husband once hung. She wonders a moment who would take it, and then her eyes see a broken pipe laying on the mantel, one of Gill's old pipes. She clutches it close...
