The Woodsman
Kally didn't care where she ended up as long as she was far away from the castle and her father and all her problems. She didn't even notice that she had passed through Corus and was riding into the countryside, or that it was getting very dark outside.
Finally, she stopped to get a drink from a stream running beside her, and realized that she didn't know where she was and how late it was. The sun was almost all the way set.
Where am I? She asked herself. How far did I ride? Kalasin looked around, Oh my, its pretty late and getting colder She pulled her shawl tighter over her shoulders. Luckily, Alanna had taught her how to take care of herself when she was younger. She guided her horse a little off the path and tied her to a big evergreen tree. She scavenged around for firewood and used the little bit of the Gift that she had to light it on fire. She warmed her hands, rubbing them together over the fire.
Suddenly Kally's horse starting bucking and whinnying at a strange sound in the woods. "Calm down Starcreast, What's the matter, girl?" Kally looked around. "Is someone there?" She called, sounding braver than she was. "I demand you show yourself, immediately,"
"Ya do, do ya?" replied a gruff voice. "Well, then I heard it's always been polite t'do what a lady tells." He said while walking out of the bush. It was a scary looking muscular man. He had scruffy brown hair and tattered clothes that looked like they haven't been washed in a while. "My aren't you a pretty little thing, aren't cha? What would a lady-like creature like you be doin' in the woods away out here?"
"None of your business," she snapped, watching his movements as he walked around her and her horse.
"Well, might you be feisty? And for it being my business, it is, since I own this here part of the woods, and you are standing on it," he answered stepping closer to her. Kally, scared out of her mind, kicked him in the leg and jumped on Starcreast. She rode off as fast as she could, not looking back in fear that the man would be following her.
