After a few minutes Carolina stepped out, pulling her cloak around her tightly, before climbing onto the front of the cart.<br/><br/>"Listen very carefully," she whispered. "That rug has an invisibility enchantment placed on it, as long as you remain underneath it you will avoid the guards spotting you. I will tell you when it is safe to come out." She set off, heading for the main gate. She had remained undisturbed until she reached the guards at the gate who stopped her progress. "Captain, I hope everything is okay," she said to the young man who walked up.<br/><br/>"Of course m'lady," the man replied. "Just a routine check for any undesirables. Anything there?" he asked a guard who had walked to the back of the cart.<br/><br/>"No captain," the guard replied. "Looks like just food and clothing."<br/><br/>"Then apologies for the hold up," the captain said, bowing and signalling to open the gate.<br/><br/>"You can come out now," Carolina said when she had finally ridden far enough from the city that they would be unseen. "I have two gifts to give you to aid your journey." They had stopped next to a large, forbidding looking forest.
