The training had gone well and the sun had just set behind the hills, the entire group was now more or less comfortable with the various sharp and pointy objects they held. All could throw the knives they found in each of their boots with varying accuracy. The women were by far the best and Katie was still a little pissed at Chad for almost giving her a haircut earlier.

"There each of you have learned something today, and you will learn something tomorrow as well, and all the days after if you keep your ears open and your mouths shut." Claimed Christoph.

After a little while when the group was resting on the ground almost asleep, Christoph went around soundlessly and roused Nick M, Steph, and Jen.

"Druid, Amaris, Ren, come. Ok then, you three, you, I can't help as much, it's just not my area of expertise."

"Ok, well I know what I am; in our world this world is a set of books so I know all the history surrounding the four lands and I have read each several times. But even I don't know what a Ren or an Amaris is." Nick M. boasted

"Ren comes from a language of the old world, it means Water Lily. Amaris is from the old fairy language and it means Child of the moon. I'm afraid I can tell you no more, it is not my place, you will have to seek the King of the Silver River, he will know more. You druid, you must see Walker, he will help you some." Whispered Christoph as he gathered his cart to leave. "Just follow this road and in half a days time you will reach Shady Vale, there Walker will find you."

They three stood watching as Christoph walked away into the night. They fell asleep wondering just what they were. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ MAN!! I almost hope somebody gives me shit for this one, 4 FRIGGIN' MONTHS!!! Sheesh, that's really bad, oh well.
