Colen loomed in the distance, the overwhelming sight of the distance gone unseen to the lumbering traveller on the side of the road.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Tak.....tak....tak....</span><br/><br/>Nothing but the sound of the wind and blowing grass graced his ears, the flapping of his deep hood and the tapping noise his staff made when he waved it slowly in front of him could periodically be heard above the drone of the wind. The staff he carried was deliacately wrapped in cloth strips, the wide, flat head of the staff came to a point, which waved behind his head as the staff rested on his shoulder.<br/><br/>His staff struck a large stone and he paused for a moment, poking it and the area around it. When nothing else was found, he continued on, making sure to step around it.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Do you know how much farther Colen is?"</span><br/><br/>"Are you seriously asking, 'Are we there yet?'" Ren asked with a smile, "I know the distance. I can feel the city from here. There are so many people concentrated in the city its hard not to feel them."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Do you think you can make it?"</span><br/><br/>"I have no choice." he said. The wind lessened to a gentle breeze and the sound of a carriage could quietly be heard in the distance behind him. He felt two people inside, one seemed purely annoyed which he assumed was due to a long journey. As the sound got louder, Ren drifted off to the side of the road until he heard grass under his feet and turned away from the road so any dust kicked up by the carriage would not dirty his front.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Maybe they will give you a lift?"</span><br/><br/>"I don't really need one. I have the time and the exercise would be good for me." he said. The sound of the cairrage got closer, but Ren noticed something off about it. It wasnt the sound of wooden wheels on gravel. more like metal. He reached up with a black gloved hand and pulled on the front of his hood pulling it down over his face hoping the carriage would pass him by and not pay him any attention. Wearing all black should make him blend in at most populated locations, but in the middle of farmland, he was worried he would be noticed and stand out too much. He blankly stared forward his head tilted towards the ground and he looked away from the passing carriage.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"If they don't stop and offer a ride, perhaps you could fly to Colen? There's nothing around here to hit or get in your way. No one to see you either."</span><br/><br/>"I'd rather not chance it." He said. The carriage neared closer, then the dust covering the surface suddenly burned off with a flash of light, while he had been facing in it's direction for a moment, but he didn't flinch or blinked. He just didn't see it at all, even if he appeared to be staring at the coach.
