They rode for awhile before Jasper noticed the dark ominous clouds gathering on the horizon. He could hear thunder in the distance.<br/><br/>"Keep riding." Tristina told him as they rode into the storm. She cast a spell causing the rain to hit an invisible barrier around them.<br/><br/>"It will not hold for long. I hope this town is not much farther. I do not enjoy being rained on." Tristina said to Jasper. Jasper knew that they were at least a day maybe two away from the town and he did not want to get caught in this storm without the shield. Jasper looked around and saw a cave off in the distance that would do he thought as he kicked the horse into a gallop towards the distant cave. The rain was coming down hard around him as the thunder boomed above them and lighting flashed in the sky giving them short moments of illuminations. After awhile the shield fell and the rain drenched them almost automatically. It took them about five minutes of being in the rain to reach the cave. The cave was cold and damp it had to be ten degrees cooler then it was outside.<br/><br/>"Well that was certainly unpleasant. I doubt this storm is going to end soon." Jasper looked out the cave thoughtfully. He pulled the horse over to one side and busied himself by tying the thing down. He then grabbed their packs and put them in the middle of the room. He started removing his soaked clothing and laid them out on the ground. He pulled out the blanket and got under it.<br/><br/>"Take of your clothes before you freeze Tristina and get under the blanket with me." Jasper said this to Tristina expecting that she would object.
