Message: <blockquote data-quote="GlassEye" data-source="post: 5441747" data-attributes="member: 40413">Elenka, human female SummonerElenka steps down from the carriage onto the rutted road.  She gazes about; she was here not too terribly long ago but with Venza so near she pressed on and doesn't really remember anything about the place.  Or was it some other insignificant crossroad?  She shrugs inwardly since it didn't matter.  She wanders back and forth along the road in front of the waystation looking around with interest.  "Hmm..."Soon something along the side of the road catches her eye and she kneels to examine it.  From a distance it looks like it might be a rock or an acorn.  She slips it into a pocket and, still kneeling, begins to sing.  She clearly has no vocal training, Master Dimplecotton would likely be quite disdainful, but she has a bit of natural talent.  She sings an oddly enchanting little song that recalls the wind in the trees and it appears like an illusion that a tree grows...First it is a sapling straight up and tall and growing taller second by second.  It spreads out branches and leaves and thickens until it towers over the girl and is wide as two men.  And when the music changes the tree changes: branches fade away until only two massive limbs remain, a burl takes the shape of a head and finally the wood-man, Drevezh'korol, stands solidly before her.  He gently places one hand on her head in greeting.When the wood-man retrieves his hand Elenka stands and returns to her traveling companions.  She smiles and inclines her head toward the wood-man.  "This is my guardian, Drevezh'korol, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you shortened his name in some way."  She claps her hands together obviously eager to get working.  "So, where shall we begin?"</blockquote>
