Lance is an average guy for the most part. He went to school and graduate from high school had a scholarship to go to college but did not take it due to problems in the family needing his attention. His father was really sick and he got a job in a factory to help out in the house. Well just recently his father pasted away. He has been depressed for a while though his family has tried to cheer him up he took it the hardest. The man was his idol and hero who he wanted to be.

Its been a few months sense his fathers death he is starting to come out of his depression when he decides to take a late night walk towards the cemetary. The gate is locked and he hops the fence to go have a heart to heart with his old man again like he used to when he was alive. For some reason this is the only place that cheers him up. While having his chat he loses track of time and nods off to sleep. Time passes as he sleeps their though as he sleeps strange sounds start to be heard around the cemetary a soft flute, pan pipes, and other old villager instruments.

As the music grows it gets closer to him though does not wake him as several small creatures start to be able to be seen around him. A few of them start to sing and dance around him the song keeping him asleep as more and more join them and soon the scenery around them starts to melt away and change into something else. He is now sleeping in some strange forest grove instead of against his fathers headstone. The creatures all leave him to sleep though resting beside him is an old sword with the name Bartholomew etched down the blade.

Kindra is a blondie curious fairy dressed in burgendy to match her wings.... she is one of few with the ablity to change from the size of a barbie doll up to the size of a 5ft 4in'' and 120lb human if she chooses to do so..

however this is a form she dose not use often for two reasions.. one if she changes size she is stuck that way for at least 24 hrs and two she cannot fly in that form.. and her wings become a decoritve tattoo from her sholders down her back to her ankles.. the only other abilitys she posesses aside from fairy glamorr is the gift of healing not only plants and animals but people..

curious at seeing many differnt types of fairy folk bringing a strangely dressed man into there world and leaving him with a sword and no clue as to where he is or what he's doing she flew closer after they were gone and landed lightly on his chest her weight bairly noticable in her small size...

He was a handsome one she decided walking back and forth on top of him and flying around him so she was sure to see all of his features while he slept.. the sword caught her attention next and a gasp of surpised escaped her lips.. his sword was an enchanted one.. he is a Bartholomew
for only those with his blood can weild it.. for the fair folk to have brought him here he must have a great task ahead...

she wondered who would be his guid in there world however, and what he would do or think when he woke up... should she stay and see how he reacted to her when he woke??? naa she decided.. flying back over to one of the trees and settling down to watch him... I'll follow from a distance and keep an eye on him for now....

[Seth_J]

Lance was out for at least a couple more hours after the fairies departed leaving the little fairy Kindra plenty of time to do as she pleased. He did start to wake a little while after she left his head groggy like someone had drugged him. He was still lying on his back as he raised his hands to his head to rub the sleep from his eyes and hold his head a moment. The fairy magic having left him with a small headache from the dimension travel.

A few more minutes pass as he starts to actually open his eyes and look around the place. As he does so the startled look on his face about being in some strange woods with no idea how he got there or anything has him worried. He cupped his hands around his mouth to help carry his voice farther than normal. "Hello, is anyone out there?"

Standing up he finally notices the sword on the ground not but a couple feet from him. His first reaction is to grab it because it would be a weapon to have if he needed it even if he could not use it well something is better than nothing. Shortly after he starts to react for it he notices the etching. His family name etched on the blade of the sword makes him think twice. Looking around again thinking this is just a really bad joke from his friends just because they know he plays DnD online or something. "Alright guys this is not funny anymore. Come out here and show me home!"

He just stands around for several more minutes the sword just laying there. The scenery starting to sink in that he does not recognize many of the strange plants and little bugs around. His eyes grow more nervous by the second till he finally picks the sword up and holds it defensively he thinks. The hilt of the sword a perfect fit for his hand as it would be in any hand of his families. The noises of the woods making him edgy so he decides it’s best not to stay around here and pick a direction and just walk no turning he will eventually get out of the woods at least. The underbrush of the woods pulling and catching his feet frequently as he walks through bushes and tries to make his own trail out of this place. Mad enough to beat the hell out of his friends when he sees them.

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra followed him at first and then begain to pick up speed it was still dark and if he kept going in the direction he was headed he would walk right off the edge of a cliff.. she got infront of him and waited for him to catch up to her..

She kept herself hidden so he wouldnt see her only hear her as she called out... Stop... your going the wrong way.. your headed for a cliff.. there is more forrest and river below it a waterfall 4 or 5 miles to the north.. were up at the top.. she said making her voice loud enough for him to hear her.. and hoping they wouldnt draw too much attention to there location..

[Seth_J]

Hearing the tiny voice he stops. He stops and listens for it again. Finally hearing what was said he looks around to try and spot the person that is trying to warn him. Though in his paranoia he feels he must still keep going to make sure there is a ledge as he was told. He proceeds slower watching the ground more and more as he moves around in the dark. His eyes unable to see much in the starlight as the moon is new this day in the fairy realm.
Growing frustrated at the crawling pace he starts to use the sword to hack away at the underbrush of the forest in front of him. He finally after about an hour longer fins the edge the small voice was talking about. Nodding his head thinking well at least the voice was not lying to him though still unsure if he can truly trust it. He turns back the way he had come the trail a little easier to follow that he cut the underbrush from and continues to cut it until he gets back to the small clearing he appeared in originally.

His eyes so blurry from the dark night as well as fatigue, he does not notice the creature waiting for him in the clearing. It is a young elf standing a bit shorter than most humans though not much. She is around 5' 2" 80 lbs maybe, petite build and small apple sized breasts. She is wearing a small dress made of tree leaves that is very shapely to her form. "Yeah there you are I was afraid goblins or something got you in these woods!" *Looking the man up and downing seeing he has been trekking along in the woods by himself hacking away with his sword. She shakes her head in disappointment. "That’s no way to be using that ancient sword, what do you think it is a farm tool???"

Seeing the young elf scolding him as he approaches he can’t help but feel belittled some by her. Shaking his head some as he looks at her. "Wait just a damn minute here! It’s not like someone was here when I woke up and told me or showed me what to do here. I’m lost and what the hell are you!"

The young elf giggling as he asks the question. "You sure you will believe me or will you just flip out when I tell you? Well it does not matter really but I am an elf."

He can’t believe his ears as she speaks to him. Though he can hardly say she is lying to him either as he looks her over he sees the pointed ears, small build and the clothing. "Well my names Lance and why was I brought here anyways and where is here??"

"Your questions will be answered in time Lance. I’m just supposed to bring you some food and water. That’s all I am allowed to do. Well and also let you know that you’re supposed to travel around the realm and meet people. They said you would know what to do and when to do it. *pointing to his sword” your blade will help guide you." Then just like that she is gone running off into the woods

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra watched the exchange thinking she really shouldnt stay she had saved his life and she should return to her hollow and the rest of her friends but her curious nature kept her from leaving and with the night moonless and him not knowing where to go for shelter she thought over where she could lead him that he would be safe enough.. with goblins in the area beign out in the open was not a safe bet..

they were in the forrested area east of the river that truned into a water fall to the north that fell down the cliff into another forrested area with small groups of villages here and there on ether side of the river some were friendly and some not.. but the path down was too dangerous to take on a moonless night..

To the south was the edge of the cliff he had nearly gone over if she hadnt called out her warning and the steep and dangerous path that would lead down...

to the west on the other side of the river above the water fall where they were there wer caves that some of the goblins resided in and she would have to steer him away from them at least until he learned how to use the sword to defend himself..

It was then she remembered and old wood cutters abandoned home he had died fighting the goblins about 3 or 4 yrs ago and no one had been there sence.. and it was on the same side of the river they were on..

once more she kept herself hidden but used her voice to lead him.. If you'd be willing to trust me.. I can guide you to an old wood cutters cottage that hasnt been used in a long time.. the goblins the elf mentioned killed him a long time ago..

but it would at least keep you out of the wether if it rains or something.. and if you do not trust me to show you the way..... it lies to the east... the cliff edge i showed you to the south.. the river that leads to the water fall falling down the cliff face to the north is west of you along with the goblins caves...

she waited then for his reply glad that it was too dark for him to see much she wasnt sure she wanted him to know who or what she was yet.. the elf had also left him a pack with food and a change of clothing...

[Seth_J]

He stood there for a few moments his mind racing and unable to wrap around the situation he has found himself. When the tiny voice sounded again he thought of what the voice said and could see no other course of action he has been luck not to break his neck so far tonight and does not think his luck will hold out if he continues aimlessly wondering. "Well I don’t think I really have much of a choice do I? If you will lead me to the woodsman’s cottage I would welcome the shelter." Gathering the bundle of clothes and food wrapped up inside for later. He thinks of eating it now but is unsure how much food will be abundant so he decides to wait on eating it.

He slings the pack over his shoulder like a teenager might sling a backpack. The sword still held in his hand comfortably as he starts to follow the voice away from the open clearing. He can’t help but realize after a while of listening to it that it is definitely feminine. Wishing he could see is helpful eyes in the dark if for nothing else to say thank you.

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra lead him safely threw the forrest for a few miles before comming to an area that had been cleared by the woodsman to build his home and the cottage. It was a small dwelling with 2 bedrooms a living room , kitchen with fireplace to heat the whole cottage as well as cook at and dinningroom combined.. with a loft over head for any guest who might come.. the woodsman had been planning for a family before he died..

Once he was safely inside she found a tree not far off and rested there for the night thinking it too far to fly to her hollow and back to check on him on the morrow..

the morning light woke her and she streatched looking up as the light was blocked by something in the sky and diving to the side just bairly in time to avoid the tallons of a hungery hawk who took a chunk out of the tree branch insted.. she flew in and out of the trees the hawk still on her trail she called out for help but wasnt sure any of her friends were near by to help..


Bartholomew.. he would help her.. she hoped as she narrowly avoided the hawks tallons again and circled back twords the cottage hoping he could hear her calling for him and remembered her from last night..

Kindra was breathing hard as she tryed to escape the bird all her focus was taken with dodging in and out of the trees and limbs that were in the way as a result she did not notice the human Bartholowmew at frist when he opened the door..

finnally she spotted a whole in a tree not far ahead just big enough for her to fit into and too small for the hawk.. she changed her flight corse once more but wasnt quite quick enough she just missed being caught by the bird but her wing was damaged.

she cursed as she started to fall a look of, pain, suprise and shock on her face as she tryed to reach for one of the tree libs to catch herself from falling to the ground she knew she was going to miss it this was it she would ether be eaten by the bird or die when she hit the ground..

She was high enough up that if she shifted she could minimize the damage and receive a broken bone at the least.. but before she said the spell to change her size her breath caught in her throat as she noticed the human below her waiting to catch her..

[Seth_J]

The little voice shouting for help woke him up quickly for he was not sleeping soundly in this strange place. Rushing to the door the sword in hand thinking goblins or worse was outside after him or his helpful friend outside who has not shown herself yet. Just as the door opens he sees the tiny little fairy flying for her life as a hawk chases after her. The quick flying of both the fairy and the bird hard to keep up with at first as his eyes adjust to the brightness of the morning sky. His eyes wide with shock as he sees the hawk clip the fairies wing and send her falling out of the sky. He moves to catch the poor little thing. His sword in his other hand still held to ward off the hawk if it chose to pursue still.

The tiny fairy looking so scared and surprised to see him there to help as he catches her barely even feeling her weight as she lands in his hand. He watches around for the hawk a moment before stepping back into the woodman's cabin. Closing the door behind them he said, "You should be alright now the windows are still unbroken and the doors solid" .Taking her over to the soft bed to sit her down and now very glad for those boy scout lessons his parents made him take as a child. He built a small fire in the fireplace to both keep the hawk from coming in that way as well as to warm the cabin up from the morning chill. The fire starts to burn quickly with the old dry wood that was still inside from before the woodsman died. Walking back over to the tiny little fairy he can’t help but admire her beautiful form. "I think I owe you for helping me find this place. Is there anything I can do to help your wing?"

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra was looking at her wing and inspecting the damage the hawk had done, and healing what she could closing the tares here and there... while the human built up the fire in the cabin.

She stood on the table where he had set her down and looked up at him as he approched folding her wings down behind her the best she could for the moment.

She had already healed the damage but it would still take her a day or two to rebuild the strenght in the wing to fly... I am afraid not i thank you tho for your offer and for saving me we are even now.... Tell me Bartholomew what is yer name? Mine is Kindra... she said in responce to his questions..

[Seth_J]

He smiles gently at her as he hears her tell him her name. "My names Lance, but how did you know my name was Bartholomew?" The fact it was etched into his sword was not obvious to him. While talking to Kindra he starts to look around the place but fines no food that is useable after so many years. He starts to unfold his pack and pull out some of the food o make a morning meal for himself. He looks over to her a moment wondering what she might eat. "Are you hungry Kindra? I have a bit in this pack here I can try and make us a warm meal to try and help the day go by better." Leaving the open pack near Kindra so she will not have to go far to look and see what he has for food.

The small fire is burning nicely as he places a few more sticks of wood in the fire and gets the wood stove burning nicely as well. The morning chill quickly leaves the cabin and the sounds of cooking starts as he tries to make something at least edible not being the greatest cook in his family, but bacon and eggs is hard to mess up. Seeing there is also berries and other things in his food rations he wonders what Kindra would like.

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra smiled as he asked how she knew his name and explained as she looked over the food he set on the table next to her for her to look threw, and chose one of the berries which was more than enough for her small form to eat... in her hand it was the size of a dodge ball.

Twas yer sword that gave you away.. aside from the name engraved.. it was created for your blood kin and the first Bartholowmew to enter our world, He did great deeds he did... only a Bartholowmew can weild it.. none other..

She stoped talking then to settle down comfortably cross legged on the table and begain to eat her berry. While he cooked his food..

[Seth_J]

The meal cooked quickly over the hot wood stove. Placing the cover over the fire to help smother it out and save what wood was still unburned for later. He sits down at the table near Kindra to have his meal as she eats the berry. "Really, my family has been to this world before? I have never heard about it not even a crazy uncle or grandfather who talked about weird stuff. I wonder why no one said we were part of some great heroic family." His eyes wander over to the sword as they chat. Looking it over some the name clear as day upon the blade. He wonders what powers the blade has and what deeds his ancient family member did and what he was brought here for.

"So do you know anything more than what the elf said to me? Do you know why I am here? I'm so lost it’s not funny." As he speaks he watches her head shake in a very confirming nope that drowning his dreams of getting a quick answer. "Well I guess that really only leaves me one option and that is to wander around like the elf said basically and just do what I would normally do or what I feel I should do. Know of any good swordsman who can teach me how not to hurt myself with this thing?"

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra looked thoughtfull for moment as she thought about his words and then laughed over his question at the end..before awncering.. i am sorry no i do not know why you were brought here there are plenty of troubles all over its not any one thing...however some think they might be connected others argue there not..... but much can be learned from the past as well the more you learn of your ansestry here the more you may learn of why your here..

she looked at the sword again thoughtfull as she cosidered who might teach him how to weild it.. most humans were pretty good but none were as good as an elf she knew who tho grumpy and set in his ways owed her a favor... maybe she could get him to teach Lance.. I may know someone who can teach you .. he dosent care for humans much but he is one of the best i have ever seen with a sword and he owes me a favor sooo.. maybe.

She turned back to her berry and ate some more looking Lance over from time to time when she thought he wasnt looking, he really was a handsome man with a good physical form, and a quiet strenght that would in time come to be challaged she was sure.. she was tempted to change her size and see what would happen but decided to wait and keep her secret until she knew him better..

[Seth_J]

"That would be great if you could get him to teach me at least then I might be able to actually use the sword instead of just swinging it around like a moron." His meal was finished quickly as he was hungrier than he thought. Looking over the dirty dishes he fines some stuff to clean the plate and silverware up with the skillet not too worried about sense he was not taking it with him. Packing all his stuff up while also looking to see what he has. A couple days worth of food, a change of clothes that looked like it would fit fine, and a water skin for travel. The elf from before not really giving him many supplies to carry around.

"Do you think you will be able to travel today or do you need time for your wing to heal up? If you wanted you could just rest on my shoulder as I walked guiding me to your friend."

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra stood her berry finnished and cleaned herself up the best she could while he streatened up the cabin and looked over his provisions.. at his question she unfolded her wings and flapped them slowly a few times testing the musles and deciding another day to heal before trying to fly wouldnt be a bad idea..

the question however was did she allow him to give her a ride and rest on his sholder or did she change size and lead the way.. if she rested on his sholder and lead the way would he think her lazy later when he found out the truth...

with a sigh she decided to be truth full.. my wing dose need another day to rest but i do not need for you to carrie me, tho i thank you for the offer... what i am about to show you.. you cannot tell anyone.. very few of my kind can do this..

she gave him a serious look and when she had his word that he wouldnt tell anyone she walked over to the edge of the table making sure there was plenty of room for her to grow with out knocking anything over or making a mess.. settled on the edge with her feet hanging off..

Her as she grew her wings slowly dissapeared becomming a tatto down her back from her sholders down to her ankles.... when the change was done she hopped off the table and stood infront of him.. she was now 5ft 4in in hight.. and 120 lbs.. her long blonde hair flowed down her back stopping just above her bottom.. her red clothing concelling and yet accenting her slender curves..

[Seth_J]

"Alright Kindra I won’t tell anyone that you can......." He sees her start to grow the wings disappearing behind her. The once tiny woman he thought was very attractive for a fairy now sat in front of him on the table. He is now the size of an elf or even a human. His mind started to race just a little bit as besides showing up in a strange place when he woke up it’s the first actual magic he has seen done. Her red dress accenting her beauty making his thoughts get dirty quick was his jaw drops and he stares at him dumb founded.

"Wow that’s amazing Kindra, why did you not just change and chase off the hawk though it would not have bothered you if your where this size?" Slinging the back backpack over his shoulder the sword held loosely in his hand the blade pointed down as to not be threatening or in the way as he walks.

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra actually blushed embarassed as she admitted the truth, wondering why he stood there with his mouth open reminding her of a fish.. she had seen alot of humans and elves look that way.. even some of her own kind.. but she hadnt been old enough at the time she had asked about it for anyone to explain it.. she wondered if they would explain it now that she was older.

.. To be honest i panicked and didnt think of it until i was hurt and falling.. then i saw you below me and didnt want to change mid fall and land on you hurtting you as well as myself.. plus i dont like this size i cant turn back until this time tomorrow.. i love to fly and feel the wind in my hair and on my face..

at the last of the statement she threw her arms wide and danced in a circle before dropping her arms and standing near him.. she smiled her eyes dancing mischeviously as she said.. well then shall we go ? it will take three days travle to reach his area of the forrest below the falls.. i'll show you where the path is that leads down the cliff face.. it is steep but passable..

[Seth_J]

“It’s alright I understand you did not think about it in a panic. Also thanks for not changing and squishing me in the fall.” He tries to jest with her to pass the embarrassment though he does not realize he could be just making it worse. HIs eyes wonder over her form more than he realizes sure that she has caught him looking at least once. "So the trail is over this way you said." As they walk and his footing becomes more important than Kindra he fines it easier to walk and talk.

"So who is this person that you’re taking me to learn from? What are they like do I need to be aware of anything strange about them?"

They walk and talk for several hours headed through the trail the sounds of the waterfall getting closer by the hour. The light of day starting to fade and the trail becoming rougher sense it is not used by many people. The old woodsman that died several years back was the last caretaker of the area. "I think this is about as far as I can walk today." He tosses the backpack to the ground, his feet throbbing from the long uneven trail.

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra was greatfull for the break truth be told her own feet hurt not used to walking so much as flying nor did she have the coverings that they called shoes like he did.. as they had walked earler she had told him all she could about the elf who's son's life she had saved before he became an outlaw..

His name was Tamline Moonbrook. Tam to those he considers friends.. and she had never collected on the debt.. nor dose he like humans so she warned him that he would have to prove himself in his own write before Tam trusted him..

she sat down now not far from him tired from there walk and watched him toss the pack down.. so what now?? i am not used to walking ether.. and i was thinking ushually when i fly it takes 2 to 3 days.. walking maybe 3 or 4 insted.. she looked away for a moment as she apologized for not thinking about that sooner.. I am sorry for not thinking about it sooner..

[Seth_J]

He listened intently about Tam sense he had to prove himself to this elf. Not sure as to how or what he would have to do but figured that it would come in time and not to dwell on it now. His main task now to make it to him alive and in one piece. As he and Kindra stopped to rest his eyes drifted over her. He gives a small chuckle seeing how she is worse off than he is. "Come here Kindra and have a seat near me ok. I will start a fire soon to keep the night chill off of us and we can start again in the morning maybe then you will be flying and only one of use will be complaining"
The night air already cold as they start to make a little camp fire to fight the chill. The small fire slowly growing as he feeds it more twigs from around the trail. The two of us huddled together to stay warm. Without noticing realize I am doing it I wrap my arm around your waist and pull you closer to me to cuddle up with. "Kindra I know I have not said it yet but thank you for helping me. Without your help I am sure I would have broken my neck that first night here."
The forest growing darker as they talk the light of the fire helping to keep the creatures of the night away and most of the bugs away as well. Lance finds himself yawning before long his head resting on Kindra's shoulder. The sounds of the forest around them sounds he is not used to but seems too tired to be woken by them.
With Kindra near him by the fire he does not notice as his hands move to warmer parts of her body to stay warm. One of his hands tucked between her legs though not close to anything really but surely more than she would like. His other hand stretched across and under her arm. His arm across her breasts when she wakes. Though she can tell he is still out of it as the morning light starts to shine on them.*

[LittleSprite2]

your welcome kindra had said in responce to his saying thank you for her help that first night, because in truth if she hadnt stopped him he would have gone over the cliff face..

She did not mind curling up next to him after the fire was going for warmth and smiled as he soon was asleep with his head on her sholder.. she eased him down to the ground and listened to the sounds of the forrests she had grown up in some comofrting others such as an owl's hoot scary but all familiar..

It wasnt long before she lay down next to him that she too was asleep.. she woke in the morning to find his hands in strange place and wasnt entirely sure what to say or do not wanting to wake him.. the feel of his arm was intiamte and yet comforting she felt safe held there...

when his hands begain to roam more in his sleep she blushed and decided it was time to move..if anything did happen between them she wanted him awake and aware of what he was doing..

carefully as she could she got up with out waking him, and moved a little ways away there were still warm coals in the fire and she wondered how early a start he wanted to get and thinking also that they should save what food he had for later..

[Seth_J]

Kindra did not wake him as she moved away from him though he did make some noises in protest to the extra heat leaving. The morning chill without a fire to fight it back creeps over him soon, waking him up as he looks around rubbing his eyes. Unaware of what had happened in his sleep. "Yaaaaawwn, hmm morning Kindra, Brrrr kind of chilly in the forest when you first wake up.” He starts to stand up as he realizes then that he is obviously hard. Lance tries to turn around without rising suspicion. "I will be right back." He walks out into the woods a ways to make water and give him a moment to let his hard on go down.

Lance returns to the camp site a little while later his feet not as sore as they were last night and very thankful for that. Though he can feel a blister or two on his feet he decides it’s not worth complaining over. He takes a second to look over to Kindra. “So do you want to go ahead and head out, or do you want to wait till you can change to your other form? I’m ok with either so just let me know when you’re ready to keep going and we can head out.”

[LittleSprite2]

Kindra smiled when he returned she had been debating that very question herself and decided that altho she would like to have waited and spent some more time with him they did have alot of ground to cover, and 3 days left of travel to reach there goal..

I'll walk with you until i can change back we should keep going tho.. Is there anything i can do to help you pack things up and pick up the camp?? When i can fly again i'll be able to scout ahead a bit and guide you better..

She followed his directions and helped to pick up the camp making sure the fire they had used in the night was completely out before moving on.. it was an hour or two into there travel when Kindra senced that the time to change back was very close, and stopped to turn and tell Lance what was happining..

However she didnt reolize how close he was and when she turned to face him they bumped into one another. her arms went around him for a moment to keep her ballance.. she looked up into his eyes and fought the urge to close the distance even more with a kiss..

insted she said.. Sorry and stepped back.. i just wanted to warn you it was time for me to change.. once the words were out she glowed for a moment and dissapeared or so it seemed until he blinked and he could see her small form sort of hovering infront of him.. I'll scout ahead a bit and make sure the way is clear.. she waved and flew off up the path..

[Seth_J]

Lance could feel her body press up against him in that brief instant. It was more than enough to make him think about how her body would feel in his hand. His eyes blinked a moment and he could see her again, small and floating in the air. The images going through his head are to say the least perverted. His face begins to blush but not before she flies off ahead to scout some. His thinks his lucky stars for this for he also just realized how much her accidently embrace affected him. He quickly adjusts himself in his pants to not be so obvious. He finds her name on the tip of his tongue as he berates himself for not saying something to her. He notices himself growing attracted to her more as they spend time with each other.

He takes a second to compose himself after the nearly embarrassing moment. He starts trudging along again shortly afterwards thinking of several things but his mind actually never far from Kindra and also why he is here. He is still holding the sword in his hands as he travels he can’t help but swing at the occasional limb or leaf on the trail for practice. The pommel of the sword fitting his hand so well it feels more like an extension of his body than a weapon held in his hand.
