The travelling in silence was uncomfortable to say the least. It wasn't like everyone was enjoying the peaceful walk, more like no one wanted to say anything in case it was the<span style="font-style: italic">wrong</span>thing. Tal could feel the tension building between Ester and Mesaraih and he wondered when it was going to explode. They were certainly a ticking time bomb.<br/><br/>He much preferred Valehna, who seemed to be much more peaceful then the pair. He chose to walk alongside her when they were travelling, not that they really spoke anyway. Once they entered the thick of the forest, the atmosphere was... strange. He couldn't explain it. He felt like he was walking in a place that didn't actually exist. Like he was in a dream - or a nightmare. He pulled his weapon off his back and clutched it in both hands, ready for anything.<br/><br/>Ester dragged her feet along the floor, still annoyed that they were following through with the plan. She assumed it would end badly, the chances of the house being a safe haven for them all seemed too good to be true. When they entered the clearing, she tensed up, eyes darting around the food that was decorating the outside of the cabin. It made her hunger surface again, her mouth began to water and she had to fight every urge to pluck the food from the trees and the ground.<br/><br/>She paused after a moment. "The veil is thin here." She said to the others, turning to look at Valehna who was probably the only other person who would be able to feel what she was. "Can you feel it? The fade?" She asked. When she sensed the voice in her head, she lit two flames in either hand as a precaution.
