"The lake at our door?!" Maric exclaimed, dropping the remainder of his breakfast back into the bowl.<br/>Jumping up from his seat, the paladin rushed to the door. The sight of water surrounding them stopped him in his tracks, and caused his jaw to drop. There would be no way for him to get back and send a letter to his guild! They'd think that he would have died fighting the dragon if they did not receive a letter from him tomorrow morning. If they assumed that, then they'd send more paladins to strike her down. The odds were that they wouldn't even realize that she was harmless!<br/>"Nimue, please tell me that there's a way back, or at least a way to send a message out of here!" He said as he spun back to look at her.<br/>Maric could use his magic to do something like that himself, but it took a lot of energy out of him. He swore, sometimes it would be more helpful to follow Iris, the Greek goddess of messages.
