Hrodgar had trudged his way wearily towards the source of the light, and could now see that it was a giant white stone archway that stretched across the way in front of him. Through the gate he could see an unfamiliar forest, and two humans, both looking bewildered.

The first was a man, young and pale with bright red hair that gave Hrodgar's a run for it's money, the second was a woman, very thing and with hair a similar shade to the man's. 

[color=green]'I might have known it was humans'[/color] Hrodgar thought [color=green]'They can't stop tinkering with things'[/color] 

[color=orange]"Hello!"[/color] The young man shouted through the gate. 

[color=green]"Oh great"[/color] Hrodgar whispered to himself [color=green]"Now they're tryin' t'get me involved"[/color]

He was mulling over what he should do about this when his sensitive ears picked up the noise of someone approaching from behind him. 

[color=green]"It never rains but it pours"[/color] he muttered and looked over his shoulder for the source of the noise. All Hrodgar wanted was to get back to his ale and his forge, but it was beginning to dawn on him that it was less and less likely he'd be returning to them any time soon.
