Memories of his childhood and homeland drifted before him. He missed the cool, misty forests of the enchanted island of Malyrryn.Slowly puffing on his pipe, his reverie was broken by the approach of Ellandra. Ellandra smiled, and bent down to kiss him softly."How are you, my love?" she said with a wink."Ah...Ellandra...good. How are you feeling?" Berrech said languidly.Ellandra pulled her cloak about her, and sat down swiftly next to Berrech, against the pillar. Smoothing her long hair out of her face, she smiled."I think I'm ok. That fight had me worried though! I thought we might be overwhelmed!" she laughed briefly, though her concern showed through.Berrech touched his fingertip to her lower lip, and blew her a kiss."Indeed, we were outnumbered. I wouldn't let anything bad happen to you, though. I trust that our gods shall watch over us, and bless us with victory." As he spoke, Berrech put his pipe down and reached for his waterskin."Really Berrech?" Ellandra said. "I know that our gods watch over us, but who can know our fate? It may be that we are meant to be sacrificed so that evil monsters can be defeated. What if the evil creatures won? We would be eaten, and we would meet again in the Otherworld. At least then, we would be free of the burden of mortal existence, hmmm?""Hmmm...well, there is that, true, but I don't think we are going to be going to the Otherworld just yet. Ok? I think our fate has more in store for us yet." Berrech said, as he took a long drink from his waterskin. Slowly, he offered it to her."Thankyou" she said, raising the waterskin to her mouth, she began to drink. Berrech watched her throat and lips as the cool water flowed down her throat. Berrech's eyes moved slowly down her neck to her tunic, as other thoughts slowly gathered."Malabar's plan worked pretty well, don't you think?" she said, changing his focus."Uh..." Berrech stammered briefly. "Well, yes, it did work out pretty well. Malabar seems to have a good head for tactics, and a quick mind. I'm very glad that our attack went so well. Some of us are injured, but seem to be ok. I think we can have confidence in his judgment in the future." Berrech stretched his arms and legs out, and yawned."I think our changing the group's name to the "Company of the Jade Hippo" was kind of appropriate, don't you think? Seeing that we all met and organized in the Inn of the Jade Hippo and all. Plus, I think it seemed to be more inclusive of everyone, as opposed to them joining our "Company of the Silver Horn." Don't you think so?" she said, smiling slightly."hmmm...well, yes. I suppose it has. Humans have such fragile egos after all. But I still like "The Silver Horn." I can live with the "Company of the Jade Hippo" though. It seems a strange kind of name though!" Berrech said, chuckling."We should probably be leaving in the morning, true?" she said, as she pulled her cloak over the two of them, and snuggled close to him."Indeed, we should probably get back to town for some more supplies. I think the Gnolls and these humans are working together, and the human lord should know of what we have found. I..." Berrech drifted his speech, as he felt her curl up to him. "Yeah, we need to get going int he morning. Sleep well, my love." Berrech kissed her briefly on the lips, before gathering his cloak about him for the night.In the flickering light of the campfire, Darnu and Ghorn made their rounds as they stood guard, vigilant for signs of trouble.____________________________________________________Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
