From a distance, Trimis watched with trepidation as the young woman called Lone Wolf fought in defense to his prince. He saw how valiant she was as she battled the giant Gourgaz to its death, and he quickly run from cover and cried out. "Milady! You are hurt!" He then reached to where her pack was and took out the same healing potion that she gave him earlier. "Drink this, milady."<br/><br/>In the aftermath of the battle, due to the Gourgaz's death... its followers became demoralized and only hissed at Lone Wolf and fell back from the bridge allowing the prince's soldiers to form a protective wall around her and their fallen leader. The whistle of black arrows was heard as they flew over their heads.<br/><br/>The Prince looked at both of them with sad eyes and said. "It is good... to see one of the Kai survive, My Lady... and you as well Trimis. I have a message you both need to take to my father in Holmgard... the enemy is too strong, I fear we cannot hold him for long. He must seek that which is in Durenor, if not... all is lost. Take my horse... ride for the Capital."<br/><br/>He coughed and then looked at Trimis and said. "I trust... you to guard her with your life... Trimis. Do... not fail me." With that he closed his eyes and passed on to the next life. There was an aura of sadness around at the Prince's death, and the soldiers mourned for their fallen leader. Trimis then said. "Come on, milady... we must be going. We cannot let the Prince's sacrifice be for naught."<br/><br/>After bidding farewell to the prince, both of them mounted the white steed and headed south along the forest path... the sounds of battle raging behind them. The Prince's steed is indeed a fine horse and it traversed the twisting forest tracks as though it was a straight highway. She soon felt hungry and ate a Meal, sharing it with Trimis as she did so... stopping before she continued. Soon, they both reached a junction... what was strange was there used to be a signpost. But it has been hacked down, and there is no clear path where to go.. and the choices are to go left or right. Perhaps her Discipline of Tracking can be used in this instant.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Your Tracking ability tells you that several trails from the right path lead off in the direction of the left path. They have been made by large wolves. The Darklords use such beasts to scout for their armies. They are vicious creatures and are often ridden by Giaks. The left path leads towards Holmgard, and the right path leads off towards the Durncrag Mountains. The choice of route is hers to make.</div></div>
