Brock had been up and down this forest a million times but he had not seen any sign of the man.  He was an elderly fellow with a long beard who had told Brock to meet him in the center of these woods.  [i]It seems like the old man, stood me up and left me here to get lost in these trees.  He never intended me to get this special item that was supposedly hidden away here somewhere.[/i]

He kicked a tree to vent out his frustration and regretted it instantly.  "Gah!", he let out a gasp as he bit his bottom lip and lifted his suffering right foot and hopped around on his left.  ugh... he muttered once the pain started to subside and he had both feet back on the ground.  

After a few more minutes of weaving in and out of the trees, he thought he saw someone.  He closed the distance between him and whatever it was and noticed it was a woman with a bow and arrows.  He was also standing at the bottom of the hill, when his eyebrows drew down in suspicion as he thought she might be his competition for the 'special item.'  

He drew his weapon from his back, it was a great, big, two handed sword.  He held the weapon in front of him as he called to her, "Who are you?"
