(( I'll just skip the time it takes to get there. Our group is already behind the others in terms of time as it is. You can join our group if you want Enkai. I'll even PM you the details of everything that has happened in this RP forum so far, not just our group. ))<br/><br/>In the entrance to the cave the soft blue light of the full moon illuminated the stones that led out onto the sandy beach. In the northern sky Gale could see the amber glow; although he thought it was bright, it didn't cast much light, leaving the night dark and menacing.<br/>The air was fresh and clear--such a change from the must and smoke of the cave. They walked quietly through the wood. Gale avoided the path where he had ran into a troublesome creature and took Aurion along the edge of the cliff.<br/>They began to climb the slope away from the bay and towards the tunnel. The trees reached over their heads like the knotted fingers of old hands. Crisp leaves dropped to the floor in the gentle breeze of the night and rustled in the undergrowth. The call of an old owl, deep and husky, broke the silence and the dry branches of the trees clashed against each other.<br/>Gale stepped from the path and dropped into a small gully that was blocked by a holly bush. He pulled back the spiky growth, revealing the entrance to a tunnel. It had been cut into the rock just wide enough for a man to carry a brandy barrel through without tearing the flesh from the back of his hands.<br/>"This way." Gale spoke as quietly as possible.
