<strong>Eluv'yan Federan<br/>The Imperial Highway<br/>Somewhere North of Ostagar</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Now I do not normally reference a god of any sort, but perhaps this is more than common luck,"</strong>Eluv'yan almost smiled as they reached the cart. She waited until Mathius had brushed off the fresh snow, and then did her best to lay Bor as gently in the cart as possible, using her weight as a counter to keep him from falling into it too hard. She almost felt as if she was flying, the weight that she had been carrying had taken her by surprise now as the relief waved its way throughout her muscles. Eluv'yan sighed softly, her breath misting in the cold winter's air. Her eyes went to the horse, as she decided to calmly approach it.<br/><br/>IT was then as she looked up and sighed, that she spotted a snow covered mound on the ground a short walk away. An arrow jutted from the snow, and Eluv'yan's green eyes narrowed. She approached it slowly, and upon arrival at the lump, she cautiously swept away snow with her cold fingertips. A heavy sigh escaped her lips and her head hung low, it was a farmer. Most likely the owner of the cart and buggy. Now was not the time for a funeral, nor did they have the tools to dig into the frost bitten earth to bury him.<strong>"May the darkness not swallow your soul, but the light carry you to a kinder place," </strong>was all that she said, in a parting whisper. She stood up, and walked back to the cart to Mathius.<br/><br/><strong>"The cart is ours to take, this horse needs a home as much as we do,"</strong>she paused, her hands gently stroking the horse's neck for reassurance, as her eyes drifted to the resting Mathius.<strong>"The owner, is no longer alive, but I see no reason to waste such an opportunity such as this horse."</strong>Eluv'yan looked at the reins, tied off onto a catch pole nearby, and she then looked back at Mathius.<strong>"It's best we get moving before this horse collapses from exhaustion with out us getting very far,"</strong>She paused again, while she had ridden horses, she had never directed one from behind on a cart,<strong>"Do you have experience driving carts?"</strong>
