Arwyn was a resident of the Dales, coming from a nomadic family renown for their ability to tame and sell horses. She wished to follow the path of the Rangers of the Dales, a tight-knit group renown for anonymously  protecting the woods and the men who travelled through them. But one could not join the Rangers, for it was the Rangers who selected their brethren, and their membership was held in the strictest of confidence.The trip to Ordulin must have been profitable for Jonrad, for the crew was graced with a warm meal, and another body was added to the rotation. But more interesting was the paying passenger who wished to be ferried to Aradel. A slim man, who was well decorated and distinctly refined. But inroductions would have to wait, as there was business to be conducted, and time was money. Or at least, according to the proverbs shared by Jonrad.------------------------------------------------Night fell quickly along the roads of the Dales, for the trees that spared the winds also robbed them of the daylight. The caravan conveniently found a place along the side of the road to waylay for the evening. "Ishmael, Arwyn, you'll take the first shift. Perrens, and you, yeah, the new guy, you've got second watch. Don't mess it up!" Keegan barked. His alpha-male tendencies were never at bay, and were starting to pinch the nerves of some of the crew.The shift was passing rather uneventfully, as Ishmael and Arwyn watched the campsite. "Arwyn. Remember earlier in the day. When I blacked out?". Ishmael was unsure of how to approach the subject. He'd never had a vision such as this, at least not through sheer contact with someone. "I think I finally unders...". "Shhh!" was the only reply from Arwyn's lips, and an eye that had a panicked tinge to it. "Did you hear that?"The sound of a small dried branch cracking in the darkness reverberated through their hearts. The adrenaline flushed through their bodies, and sly smiles crossed both of their faces at once.</blockquote>
