A few moments later, the group is on the trail again, Gemble in the front scouting out the best path.  <img src="http://mistressezra.homestead.com/files/Woodlands.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The walk through the wood is fairly easy.  The hills roll gently and there is no hard terrain, crags and few fallen trees to pose much difficulty.  Everyone settles into an easy stride as they walk.  The sounds of fauna and flora can be heard; birds and animals escaping from a hidden place in a shrub, the cooing or crowning of various critters off in the distance, a breezy wind at the tree canopy blowing through the leaves.The only other sound is that of the occasional “snap” of one of your footfalls and the semi-rhythmic sound of the squeaky wheel on the cart that Krueger is pulling.  Jaeden begins humming a tune that somehow follows the squeak of the cart.  As the tune continues, slowly everyone recognizes it as “The Hymn of Kendrian in the Tower of Rox’Voroth”, just one of the songs about the great battle three hundred years ago.  Gemble also begins to hum along, though not with great musical ability.  Jaeden begins to sing.And up the stairs the trio wentBrave and bold they goKendrian and his mighty swordD’JuticorFollowed closely by FendekMightiest of dwarvesWith Tandra’var close behindAmidst the darkened shadowsCame a nasty hissThe lord of daemon, lord of painCast his glance on them“For Enber”“For Enber”The mighty dwarf did shoutHe lowered his blade and charged the beastKnowing where he was hid.“Away from me, hairy thing.”The cruel wizard did sayAnd with a wave from his handThe dwarf was cast awayLifted from his feet, and flung into the wallBut Tandra’var, great Tandra’varLeapt into the airHis aim was true, his heart was pure Rox’Voroth hit the groundA second blow was comingBut never did it fallThe vile wizard Rox’VorothHad caught him in his thrallAs Kendrian charge, sword raised in the airMighty Tandra’var could do nothing but stare.  The lord of daemons tried his willAgainst the mighty priestBut the great sword, D’JuticorSeemed determined to have his feast.The sword did flash a dozen timesRox’Voroth backed awayCasting as he moved But the mighty blade he could not stay.Then Fendek leapt at the wizardOnce again into the fray “Your sword may protect youOh vaunted KendrianBut Fendek does not wield D’JuticorSo there I’ll try my hand.”A vile spell filled the placeAnd ichor from hell itself.Black tentacles from his handsDug into Fendek’s heart.The might dwarf, with a shoutCried “For Enber” once moreProud dwarf, mighty warriorSails now to the Shadowed ShoreBut as the evil wizard reveled in his killMighty Kendrian plunged the bladeInto the vile wizard, All the way to the hilt.Suddenly, with much of the song left to go, Jaeden stopped singing.  “Be there somptin?”  Krueger said, releasing his grip on the handles of the cart to heft his axe to the ready, eyes scanning the area frantically.“Nay, good dwarf.  Tis nothing.  I just… I just can’t sing of the death of the Dark One knowing his children roam about, out there, somewhere.”  Jaeden said, a visible tremble crawling across his flesh.</blockquote>
