    "LUCERO!" Horoth ran after her, hopping over fallen trees to reach her but she was stopped caught in the branches by the time he got to her. "I've got you." Bracing himself with his foot on the felled tree he took firm hold of Lucero's hands though he could not feel nor see what magic...

    Horoth closed the gap between them quickly, taking her hand. "I'm here Syr Lucero." It was not intended to be any form of indult but he took a protective posture over her. Holding out his small shield and scanning the scene upwind to try and spot Shoyna but the force of her cries sent twigs...

    The word sprang to his mind at the suggestion of food inspired names. It was a food that he always enjoyed and it seemed it might take the sting from its ferocious form. "What about, Peanut?" It was neutral, as far as names went or so he thought and he knew that some animals might be named...

    "Hmm." He did not know if he entirely agreed with the statement. Not because Horoth thought Lucero naive but because, at least in his experience, there were many lesser people in the world and they were often ironically those who thought themselves above others. The touch was welcome, despite...

    "No..." He knelt next to the beast and watched, waiting for the miracle to be done. "... you are better than me." Casting back his thoughts he relived the countless days in the arena when he fought fearful men and beasts made violent with hunger. "You can choose to not kill. It is harder for...

    "I do, I trust you Lucero but hurry!" The beast calmed and Horoth could scarce believe it. Magic could do wonders but to tame the savage heart was a thing he had never witnessed before. Gently, as the great monster quelled itself at Lucero's beckoning whim and he eased up, stopped trying to...

    Horoth would rather not kill the monster. It seemed an irony to him that to save one inhuman creature they must kill another but it did not look like it was going to give them much choice. With a lunge and a yell he goaded the wolf monster again and it replied with an advance and landed into...

    "A life in chains, you have spent more time under the sky than me." Horoth mused almost to himself before catching Lucero's warning and checking about to confirm it. The growl and rustling came from a line beast near as big as a bear with the head of a wolf and a bald tail that ended in a...

    "Maybe." Horoth admitted, trying to open his mind to alternatives before he let his judgement get clouded. "It would not be the first time the coven of trust was broken by ones who should know better." As they walked he scanned his mind at Lucero's question. "Now that I think on it, there...

    This was beginning to smell. Horoth would never claim to be among the great thinkers of the Knighthood but he knew a bad story when he heard it and he was beginning to get the suspicion that the Elder had not told them everything. "We are gathering mysteries." He admitted to Lucero as they...

    Horoth squinted, trying to make out the markings. "Yes, they are. It's a bit like a... drawing. The figures, I think they are supposed to be moving, running maybe?" He could not make much sense of it and cursed his lack of education as he climbed back down and with a gentle touch guided...

    Horoth looked up the tree and tried to imagine the white feathered harpy, hurt and grieving. Grieving for whom he wondered. The Elder said nothing of recent deaths or missing persons. "She must have been frantic." Dropping his gear he wrapped his arms about the tree trunk and began to climb. It...

    "Anytime you need me." Horoth responded without thinking. His deep voice gentle and soothing in it's certainty. After making their goodbyes they were off and into the direction of the forest. Horoth for his part was there to handle any trouble but he did find himself looking out for Lucero...

    A big calloused hand gently found Lucero's shoulder to let her know which side he was on as he spoke. "Young Lucero is being modest, she is easily the equal to Syr Margot, nay, even her superior! Rest easy elder Vojin. We will find your Shoyna and she will be returned to you." Smiling...

    Open Laying Foundations

    Rust? Horoth's hand fell to his side, slack and unreceived as his eyes fell along with his nod. "As you wish." Allies then and nothing more, a shame to his eyes but freedom worked both ways. He could not force Dal to take his hand in friendship. It was with a most reluctant turn that he went...
