The moon had dipped down on the horizon and soon the moon made its appearance in the twilight. He wasn't even halfway to the last town he needed to go to. A howl emanated from somewhere Ethan could not discern, it sounded almost like a wolf, but different enough for Ethan to know that it was not a wolf. The young man let out a shaky laugh at the thought of a cougar howling but a sense of dread soon followed as he reasoned out that there were far worse creatures that dwelt within the forests and woodlands.

It was then he saw the torchlight further up the path, two torches at least moving away from him with post haste. Squinting, he could discern that they were humanoid and moving further and further away. [color=tan]"Why in the nine hells are they running?"[/color] Whatever scared the two humanoids was somewhere near, and Ethan was in no condition to be running anymore. Snuffing out his torch, he goes fifteen feet into the brush beside the path and begins to sneak his way towards the town. 

He hoped whatever manner of creature or thing that scared the two, would not take notice of his stealthy passage.
