"[color=2e3192]Here we are, Lozagon Forest.[/color]" Haley said when they arrived.

As they arrived in the forest, Freyr's ears immediately started to move, listening to every sound in the forest. 
[color=8dc73f]"It's been too long..."[/color] he said to himself, gently touching the trunk of a big tree in front of him
[color=8dc73f]"Far too long..."[/color] he said with a serene smile, closing his eyes in an extremely peaceful expression.

The sound of the leaves flying with the wind, birds chirping, the energy running through the forest... The connection between the wild and a viera was strong. It was not just physical, it was almost like his soul was becoming one with that forest's life.

"[color=2e3192]Some of us should go north while the others head south.[/color]" he heard Haley saying.

[color=8dc73f]"I'm sorry... Its just been too long since I've been in a forest... I just got a bit distracted."[/color] he said, getting out of his almost 'trance-like' state.
[color=8dc73f]"I'm going south. I can move through the woods pretty quickly, so if I find him I'll meet you guys."[/color] he said, without being able to hide his smile as he started running through the woods. It was somehow adorable and impressive at the same time, how he moved with such agility and without making a sound in the forest, running and jumping. 

The forest was quiet. Gladly Freyr hadn't encountered any monsters yet. But as he pressed on, he was able to hear some muffled screams coming from the south. They were faint, but thanks to his hearing, he was easily able to pinpoint the source. But there was also something else on the wind... Blood. Something was wrong.

Quietly approaching from the source of the smell, he was able too see three man. One was just a simple man wearing black clothes and wielding a knife, but the second one, wearing heavy armor, looked very menacing. The third one was tied to a tree, very wounded and wearing only tatters. The two men were apparently interrogating their prisioner.
Rebels? Which rebels? What were they talking about?

"[color=black]What's that? You don't want to talk? Well that's a shame.[/color]" one of them said, as he sliced the prisoner's ear off his hear, the bloodied rag on his mouth muffling the poor man's screams.

"[color=red]A fitting punishment for deserters, Lord Caldeyron.[/color]"
"[color=red]Again, I am honored to bring Varjo's wrath alongside you.[/color]"
"[color=black]Likewise, Thorgar.[/color]"

Thorgar and Lord Caldeyron... Who was this Varjo? Freyr was genuinely surprised when he realized that the man in armor wasn't actually the one in charge. The simple man wearing black appeared to be his superior. This... Lord Caldeyron...
Freyr's curiosity got the best of him, as he approached them, curious. But to his dismay, one of them realized that they weren't alone thanks to Freyr's bow getting stuck into a small branch and breaking it as they passed.

[color=8dc73f][I]"Damn..."[/I][/color] he thought to himself, as he quickly jumped, landing on top of a big tree.
Pulling a small fruit from the tree, Freyr threw it on the opposite direction, far away from the other man and the prisoner. The sound it would make would make Thorgar to walk away, if he was lucky.

"[color=2e3192]This place is... really, really large so I suggest we split up to find him faster. If you know any tricks about finding people, we could certainly use that. Also, be careful of any monsters in there. [i]Single[/i] monsters if you know what I mean.[/color]"

[color=C6DEFF]"That is actually a good idea, Miss Haley. Although I'm quite certain that our Viera friend will be able to find something rather quickly, am I right?"[/color] Bast said, looking to Frey, only to see a very interesting scene.

[color=C6DEFF]"Hm... Interesting. I have never seen a viera in a forest. Its rather interesting the way that their senses are 'linked' to the forest itself."[/color] Bast said, as he observed Freyr, which said that he would go south, disappearing on the forest with a smile on his face.

[color=C6DEFF]"Its actually very interesting isn't it? So adorable, yet so menacing if you look at it cautiously. The forest is his hunting grounds."
[/color]
[color=C6DEFF]"Well Miss Haley, shall we go?"[/color] he asked, as they went north.

Getting on a tranquil pond, they stumbled upon an unexpected character. A male man, putting a lid on a basket. Fair skin, black eyes and spiky, black hair. That man was exactly how Rochelle had described.

[color=C6DEFF][I]"Well... This will be interesting."[/I][/color] Bast thought to himself as the man approached them.

"[color=00746b]Oh, hey there. What're you people doing here?[/color]"  he said, approaching them.

"[color=00746b]Night's about to set in so I suggest you accomplish it as quickly as possible. Things get hard to do at night.[/color]" 
"[color=00746b]I'll help if I can. So long as it's nothing complicated of course.[/color]" The man said, looking to them.

[color=C6DEFF]"Don't worry... We have already found what we were searching for."[/color] Bast said with a sly grin on his face.

"[color=2e3192]...Are you Rachelle Gardner's husband?[/color]" Haley asked to the man. As soon as he heard that, his expression changed noticeably.

[color=C6DEFF]"[color=00746b]Wh... Who are you? H... How do you know her?[/color]"[/color] he asked, surprised.

[color=C6DEFF][I]"Hm... So he didn't come back on purpose?"[/I][/color] Baat thought to himself.
 
[color=C6DEFF]"This adorable miss over here is Haley, and I am Bast. Pleased to meet you. We were sent by your adorable wife, which is grieving over your disappearance on the city."[/color] Bast said, looking at his face and carefully studying his reactions.

[color=C6DEFF]"Don't worry. We can take care of ourselves, and I promise you it wont take long. We just need to talk for a little bit."[/color] Bast said.
[color=C6DEFF]"So, would you care to explain what is happening?"[/color] Bast asked, looking directly to the man's eyes.
[color=C6DEFF]"Oh, don't be alarmed. I'm not here to judge anyone, nor I will put myself between a man and his happiness."[/color] he said, looking at him curiously. He was hoping that he would understand what he meant with those words.
