<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;">"Tomorrow will take it away! The fear of today! It will be gooooone! Due to our magic sooongs!"</span>Jakob sang loudly with the wind as he sailed his small but strong water-strider swiftly down the brisk waters of the river. It had been at least 2 hours since he set sail, and already the great everblack trees where beginning to shrink and turn green. out in the far distance, he could see large mountains reaching for the evening sky, oh how Jakob loved the mountains, he had spent almost two weeks in this tangled forest hunting for dragons, it would be nice to strong rock beneath his feet.<br/><br/>When the water seemed to become much more calm, Jakob took this opportunity to check his maps.<em>'Hmmm... Much of this forest is still unmapped and unexplored, And I seem to have just left the limits of knowledge. Well, someone has to venture these parts eventually, maybe the Gods will lead me to some game.'</em>He thought as he closed his eyes briefly to take in the fresh, wet evening air. The last bit of sun light gently glistened and bounced off his dragon plate armor and the wind caused the wolf pelt cloak the hung around his shoulder to ripple in incoherent patterns.<br/><br/>"Ahhhh...." The blonde man sighed with content. Just as he was about to look back down to his maps, the emerald sword began to quiver violently within it's scabbard. Quickly retrieving it from the rest of the gear near the bow, he laid the sheath aside and stared intensely at the glowing, green blade. "What? What do you have to say?"<br/><br/>The time has come children, to cease this anger. The time has come to live in peace once again. Come to me, hear my words, and remember what it was like in a time long ago...<br/><br/>Jakob nearly fell of the side of the boat as he felt the steel voice within his mind. "It's her! The Wyrm! I... I heard her." '<em>How close to this thing am I?'</em>He gulped hard in his throat as small beads of cold sweat formed on his brow. He could feel his mind screaming at him to change coarse and to leave this forest forever, but Jakob is much to stubborn to not push forward.<em>'I have to see this with my own eyes. Something big is about to happen and Goddess intends fro me to witness it.</em><br/><br/>After another hour of sailing, Jakob could see the thick tree ranges at right side of the river begin to become thiner and thiner.<em>'Must be getting near a clearing, I should anchor around hear and carry on by foot.'</em>Quickly, the man beached the waterstrider on an incline of sand and dirt and from their packed up some boar meat, his bow and quiver, his shield and spear, bear fur blanket, skinning knife, bandages, a water skin, canteen of dragon;s blood and lastly, his emerald sword. Taking one last look at the calm waters of the rive, Jakob set off into the thinning woods, not noing if he will ever return.
