Thomas was running through the forest at an almost breakneck speed. His long red hair flew behind him as he dashed between trees and headed north. His goal was to reach the mountains where, if he was lucky, he could cross the border into the Dwarven Kingdom. He had to pass along vital information to their command staff. He was one of five runners hired and dispatched. It was assumed that only one or two of them would make it.
Having already avoided several ambushes, Thomas was covered in mud and ever muscle in his body burned with exhaustion. He had left one kingdom and entered into an unclaimed forest where bandits and other creatures hid from the authorities. There were a few outposts and taverns independent from any political allegiance, but Thomas stayed well clear of them. He instead was racing through a heavily overgrown part of the forest.
Dressed in a dark green top and brown pants, Thomas was armed only with a bow, a quiver of arrows, and a sword. Even with those items, he was a very formidable foe. However, he had been running for the better part of 3 days with no sleep and little rest. Pausing for a moment he leaned up against a tree, panting. He took a canteen of water and held it up to his lips. Only a few drops fell out and onto his tongue. He was completely parched and had now ran out of water. He closed his eyes and sighed softly. Unless he found a clean water source, he wouldn't be able to keep this pace up for much longer.
He was about to doze off when a loud crack of thunder rumbled through the area. This startled him from slumber immediately. Glancing up he sighed again, it would start raining soon. This would make an already difficult terrain even hard to move through. The mud would be as thick as tar and climbing hills could be impossible. "I need to get moving."
