[color=coral]Steven[/color] had ran to the village with Säätur. The blood continued streaming from where the cougar's head used to be. More and more of the ground turned to red. The sun kept shining and heating the bare rocks around [color=teal]Lyra[/color] and badly wounded [color=khaki]Illumina[/color].

From the shadow of one of the bigger boulders behind the two, emerged two dark shadow-like creatures, not bigger than a human head. They were small and round, without eyes or mouth and their arms and legs where more like tentacles.

Carefully, silent as a shadow would, they went to the carcass. One walked to the leg and the other to the head. The one that went to the head, grabbed it from the upper jaw and tore it completely apart from the rest of the body with disgusting sound of flesh and bone ripping apart. Then without a word the two shadows began dragging their pieces of the cougar towards the forest that was far towards South surrounding the waterfall where the river began.

The first time [color=gold]Säätur[/color] reacted to the situation with something else than being paralyzed of the shock was when Steven already ran a good deal from the blood, death and decapitated carcasses. He began twisting and struggling to get off the back and grip of this big scary stranger. Regardless of what he did with his meager strength, it didn't seem to help so he started yelling [color=gold]"Let me go!! I don't want to!! Noooo!!!"[/color] and pounding Stevens armored torso where ever he could reach.

It seemed that he had already forgotten of the violence. The only thing that mattered now was getting off the back of this stranger who was not letting him find the flower he was looking for. Once the river began to come closer to the road they were on and the fields began to surround the two, Säätur realized that he had failed. He stopped pouting and fell forwards leaning to Stevens sun heated armor.

[color=gold]"If it is the inn you are looking for, you will find it further down the road."[/color] The man waved slightly along the road. [color=gold]"Just go across the bridge and into the town. There is a few houses and an alley that takes a sharp turn left. You will come to the town square. Inn is the first house on your right in the corner of the square. Two floors with big windows in the first, can't miss it."[/color]

After he was done explaining the old man turned his eyes from the village to [color=bisque]Abel[/color]. [color=gold]"I hope what you say is true."[/color] He took the bridle again to continue his way. [color=gold]"The night after the brother disappeared we heard witch drums from the forest and saw smoke."[/color] With a snap from the bridle the old horse began slowly pulling the wagon.

The man didn't make it far before he stopped again. In the distance he saw a knight of sorts running down the road towards them. [color=gold]"That one of your friends, lad?"[/color]
