Pulling her horse short, a young woman blew a dark bang from her face, looking at the crystal clear spring, leading her horse towards it. Her water-skin had been emptied many hours ago, the ride taking longer than she had expected. Hopping off the horse, who lowered it's head lapping up the water. Layla dug into one of the bags on the saddle, pulling her empty water-skin from it, a paper dropped to the ground. It was rolled tightly and was sealed with wax with the Hyrule Royal insignia. Leaning down, she scooped the paper back up, shoving it into the bag. 

Turning away, she glanced around to make sure that no one was around her. She wore boots, leggings and a short knee length skirt, with a tunic and belt holding her twin short swords. She waded in the water, dipping the skin down to get some water, she gulped it down like her horse. Letting out a sigh, she glanced around her, "How much farther is this damn village?" She murmured to herself, as she finished taking her drink and turning back to her horse. 

Layla replaced the water-skin into the bag, pulling a map from it's depths next. Tracing her finger over the path she followed, she was unfortunately terrible at map reading. She could tell which direction she was suppose to go but as for how far it was, that was something she had no idea. Taking a deep breath, she pulled herself back up onto her horse turning herself into the forest, at least it seemed like she only had a bit of forest left before the village was suppose to be. 

It burned her up that the Princess wanted this man to do this, she understood that this man was the Hero of Hyrule but this was something she could have done by herself. And now she had to contend with this guy trying to do it without her like she knew that he would try and do because she was a woman. The only thing she could hope for was the Princess could put in a good word for her with the Hero in the letter. But she was not going to break the seal to look and make sure of that. 

The young woman came upon a large wooden bridge, it was wide and spanned over several hundred feet. Pulling the map back out, she pulled it out in her lap, glancing over it over to make sure she was still heading in the right direction. "Maybe this stupid village is going to be close now." 

Leading her horse over the bridge, she found another spring, and recognized some of the terrain one of the guards who had been down here explain to her. She was looking for the man's house, which if the man was too be believed was in a tree. Furrowing her brow, she pulled her horse to a stop in front of what she guessed was the man's house. But she could see no sight of him. 

Granted the house was small, and there was no one outside. Pulling herself off the horse, she headed up to the ladder, after grabbing the scroll the Princess had sent her with. Pulling herself up on the ladder, she knocked on the door carved into the tree. It was a curious place. She stuck the scroll into her mouth as she pulled her dark hair out of her face, retying her pony-tail as she waited, trying to look at least semi-decent. 

Taking the scroll from her mouth, she knocked again. "Hello!?"
