The sound of wagon wheels echoed throughout the grasslands, The dirt road providing little to soften the tumbling and shifting bumps within the terrain. It was a beautiful morning, The sun high within the blue sky, Not a single cloud in sight. The warmth of the sun beating down on the caravans back, A soft breeze soothing any comfort the heat had taken away. It was the type of afternoon that seemed to constantly bless all of southmourne, Almost as if the gods themselves had favored their lands. For the most part of the trip Kahmori, Xali and Alexei’s were forced to stay in the third wagon, Being the last addition to the raw recruit’s headed to Lakehaven the caravan unfortunately didn’t have enough spare space to provide, Forcing them to huddle with the cases of wine, rum and ale. Thankfully, Pillows and blankets were plentiful, Allowing a mild comfort.<br/><br/>The supply caravan itself was heavily guarded, Having fifteen guards of its own plus another ten of raw recruits that were hitching a ride on their way to Lakehaven from Miaah. At the helm of the caravan was Drir, A massive nine foot tall minotaur, Pulling the three cart caravan single handedly. It was a six day journey, Yet the ride itself so far had been filled with laughs and good company. Thus so far the five day journey they had been a pleasant one. Despite the fact that war raged all around these lands everyone was in great spirits. Those who would enjoy normal meals were well fed, Receiving a hearty breakfast, Lunch and dinner each day.<br/><br/>Xali had received a good deal of the male attention, Being flirted with, Complimented for her beauty and grace she seemed to have with each step she took. Though none of the males had been lucky so far in bedding the gorgeous leopardess, That however didn’t stop them from constantly trying. Each little resting stop more then a few would flock to her, Attempting to make conversation and catch her attention. Some even bared gifts, Parting with some of the wine they had been transporting to Lakehaven to hopefully win affection.<br/><br/>Alexei’s had gotten a bit of attention of his own. His seemingly quiet personality wasn’t the most inviting, Yet one of the ladies fancied his type. The shy and collective one always seemed to be her taste. She enjoyed the hard to get game that Alexei seemed to be playing. It was a delicious little game of cat and mouse to her. Often when Alexei would fall asleep he would wake to find her clutching him in her arms, Her excuse when she awoken had been that she was merely cold the night before.<br/><br/>Kahmori, He had been the loudest of them all, Yet not in the way that others would find annoying. The charming kitsune seemed to have a knack for being the center of attention. whether is was being the life of the party or even challenging the Drir himself to an arm wrestling match. Everyone seemed to enjoy his good humored and gentle personality. Drir himself had greatly enjoyed Kahmori’s company and was eager to engage in any little friendly manly competition the kitsune could muster. It was quite a surprise to the caravan when Kahmori and Drir engaged in a little friendly arm wrestling match, A match that lasted nearly twenty minutes with neither of them able to gain the upper hand. It wasn’t until one of the females had slapped Kahmoris ass did the match finally end, Resulting in Drir and Kahmori both erupting in a hearty laugh.<br/><br/>It was the last day the caravan would be together. In just a few short hours they would arrive in Lakeshaven to unload the goods and the fresh recruits. Then say their goodbyes and part until the next shipment would arrive.<br/><br/>“Well” Drir said with a yawn in his voice as he pulled the huge leather straps from his shoulder that he used to pull the caravan along. “It’s time for some grub!” He exclaimed enthusiastically. The guards that had been relaxing in the wagons quickly shifting through a few boxes and pulling out meats and spices that would serve as today‘s lunch. Drir began ordering a few of his men to prepare a fire, Others to fetch some water and to see if any of the recruits would need anything.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;"><span style="color: #800000">Xali</span> +1000 exp (Good back story, Wonderful creativity), 29000/36000 experience.<br/><br/><span style="color: #800000">Alexei</span> +1000 (Great back story, Good story plot forcing him to eat his love), 29000/36000 experience.<br/><br/><span style="color: #800000">Kahmori</span> +1000 (Love the pretend little sketches, Nice journal style back story), 29000/36000 experience.<br/><br/>Glad to get this underway!
