It had been two months now since Seren had joined the gang and all was going decidedly well, apart from the teenage strops of course.
It was just after Sunrise and Seren was making her way down to the pool to do sacred ...stuff. She wore a loose white dress with a golden rope belt that hung from the curve of her hips. Her copper hair hung loose to her waist and had small bones woven into it, that jingled when she moved. In her hand she carried a tall black staff not unlike Little John's.
She reached the edge of the pool and gracefully walked to the middle, the water reaching her broad unfeminine shoulders. She leant backwards, completely immersing herself in the diamond dappled water. Suddenly a noise in the trees distracted her and two travel weary people stepped into the clearing. One was a tall lanky man with sun darkened skin, scruffy black hair and a pathetic excuse of a beard. Next to him there stood a shorter woman she had dark skin and Seren knew instantly she was a Saracen from far of lands.
Seren slowly exited the pool doing her best too look intimidating. Her sodden hair and dress leaving a torrent of water in her trail.
"Who dare enter the realm of my lord and master Robin Hood" She gritted out, it hurt to say Robin was her master but for effect and all.
"We are two of his men." The tall lanky man responded.
"Oh yeah prove it" challenged Seren. The man reached in to his tunic and pulled out a tag, identical to the one around Seren's neck. "You must be Will and Djaq. I'm Seren" she stuck out her hand and the two travellers shook it, "we spoke by pigeon"
"Oh you're Allan's err..." Djaq replied
"Oath woman" Seren injected helpfully, pointing to the scar on her hand. "Any way you coming back to camp? I bet you just want to sleep"
"Yes" The couple answered in unison.
Right another short chapter but the next one has something big in it so I promise they will get longer and better. Any ways tell me what you think it's always helpful.
