Halu felt the flames recede, she glanced back only enough to catch sight of the man collecting something from the air.<em>Damn...That was too close...those guards are getting tougher every time...</em>Halu thought to herself, not slowing down as she continued to dash through the woods.<br/><br/>She sheathed her daggers, hoping she wouldn't have to use them, and that she'd gotten far enough away. She slowed down finally, and rested against a tree panting. She hadn't had to run like that in a while. At least she was close to home now. She checked the folds of cloth, the ore bits still safely tucked away. She grinned, and walked on toward her little cabin. She entered, and fell down on the make shift bed, after setting the 'bags' of ore on a small wooden table. She still counted it as a win. She smiled, and closed her eyes, wanting some needed rest.
