As the gates are opened Geren, a soldier on guard duty hurries over, greeting Redrick with a neutral, brief salute before turning his attention to the young man’s partner. “Good morning  Dari,” he smiles, using the simple nickname he came up with for her, “Going out for the day?” he inquires, a perfect reminder to both of you as to why you wish to leave this place. Wasting no more time you leave through the half open gates, not bothering to wait for a patrols to scan the surrounding area for the presence of any enemies to ensure it is safe to open the gate the whole way.<br/>You head in the general direction of the Forest Camp, passing an irregularly shaped piece of farmland growing some pale green leafy vegetable, then a long stretched of spars grassland that starts to become dotted with small leafed bushes. After about twenty minutes of walking the curve of the land removes the low, sloping earthen walls of Hill Fort from your view, allowing you to finally feel that you have left your old lives behind.<br/>Your first contact with outside life goes better than either of you expected, for it is a familiar face from the Hill Fort, but one detached from the settlement’s agenda and hierarchy. Ahead of you is the female singer and wanderer who you have seen briefly from time to time as she travels the island.
