<strong>Mathius Vairo<br/>The Imperial Highway<br/>North of the Woodlands</strong><br/><br/>The Antivan watched as each exhale puffed out of his mouth in a small mist as the cold truly began  to set in and small fell on his head. Of all the things he hated about this country, the unrelenting cold was one of, if not, the main thing he despised. His homeland was almost always comforting year around, but this one was harsh and damp and dreary.<br/><br/>Mathius suddenly stumbled as he broke out of the treeline and the Imperial Highway came into view.<strong>"Thank Andraste..."</strong>He muttered to himself in pure exhaustion after lugging Bor for so long. He could see Eluv'yan standing on the roads edge as he began to try to walk again, this time however his injured gave out and he went down to one knee and Bor's body tumbled to the ground. The young Warden stayed there on his hands and knees trying to regain his strength for the final stretch.<br/><br/>In a quick motion, he lifted up Bor's  body and tried to sling it over his shoulder, though he wasn't able to get his knee off the ground at first. Mathius's body shivered at the oncoming of the cold night ahead and grunted through gritting teeth as he forced himself up on his feet, With Bor's waist wrapped around Mathius's shoulder and being held onto by his legs. Weary, and in heavy need of rest, he pressed on until he finally reached Eluv'yan.<strong>"I've never been so happy to see a road in my life."</strong>He said to her as his foot first made contact with the paving.<strong>"What now?"</strong>Mathius asked exasperated as he turned his head back north at the windings of the road that lay before them.
