Stormtracer carefully scanned her surroundings, watching for movement.

Two days she had walked,with neither food nor drink.This part of the basin was pretty.....formal,so she'd rather not run into any basiners on the way.She wasn't exactly......fluent with the ancient ways.{Finally,something she's NOT good at}

Christmas had pointed her in the direction of the herd made up of former citizens of Carnssus,listing both their speed and number of.At the rate Storm was going, she should meet them in about late afternoon.Which,since she knew by the position of the sun that it was indeed late afternoon,was now.

Thumpthumpthump!

Stormtracer stopped,and listened to the steady beat of a herd's footsteps,possibly the herd she had searched for.

It would not be long until they came into sight,so she sat down and waited.

Three hours later.......

The stranger who had spied on Anile and Lage earlier played his Tarot cards,looking at the words inscribed above the illustrations.

Ah,the Betrayl(sp?) card.That did not bode well for the new fellowship.{I keep thinking of LOTR......}

pulling out another card and laying it face up,he gazed upon the Fortune card.That could mean either they would suceed or make it out alive.

laying the final card out,he regaurded the Death card with some interest.So,one or more would die on this journey,but who?

Curiousity overwhelming his common sense,he picked anoher card.Which ever one that most represented the unfortunate would give him the answer he seeked.

It was the Wise card.{I'm giving way to much away here....whoever figured out who's gonna die,have a cookie}

resisting the urge the explore the cards more and find out if there would be another death,he shuffled the deck of Tarot cards and placed them in his pack.
