*Deep in the woods outside of Ketra, a golden mist appears, glowing softly for a few seconds. As the mist clears, a slender humanoid figure is revealed with a miniature dragon perched on her shoulder. Behind her are eight horses, tied together leadline to tail, in two rows. The front four horses have saddles or gear packed onto them, and all eight's coats gleam in the dappled sunshine through the treetops. The female reaches up to scratch under the dragon's chin, then turns to check on her horses. After assuring herself that everone survived the trip, she lets out a shrill whistle. A giant shaggy black dog with tan markings appears out of the shadows of the forest, and bounds to the woman, taking her hand in it's mouth.*
'Shine find the road for us, and then feel free to do a little hunting.
*After 'speaking' to her pet, Pennier returns to her horses, and swings into the saddle on the first of them. She clucks to the others, and they start off through the woods, following the shaggy black animal through the shadows. The nymph seems to be oblivious to her surroundings, talking softly to her horses as they go through the unknown woods, but she remains in constant contact with her hound, while questioning the dragon wrapped around her shoulders.*
Albert, where have you brought us? I know that you aren't happy that we had to leave the lands of the Dragon Court, but even you have to agree we'd grown too well known, and I was losing my edge.
*The small green dragon ignores her mental inquiries, then finally shakes his wings and takes to the sky, flying low over the treetops. The sun glints off his shiny scales, and he marvels at the changes wrought in the land since the maps he came across were drawn. After a few minutes of flying, he returns to Pennier, and swoops low.*
Penni, the road is up ahead, we should reach it within the hour, even at the pace we're keeping. And to answer your question from before, I have brought us to a place where no one knows you, or me. We are rather distinctive, and the heat was on a little high back there. Besides, maybe you shall step out of the shadows and start breeding and raising horses full time.
*The nymph rolls her eyes at the dragon's 'words' and continues to follow the mental map 'Shine sent her, towards the road. She begin whistling softly to herself as they move through the woodlands, 'telling' the dog to go hunt, then catch up to the rest of them.*
