The trip from Coldshore to Shademarsh was not a very long one; twenty minutes at the speed limit, at least until you crossed the bridge into Shademarsh.  Then the roads narrowed, shortened to one land two-ways, and the sheer navigation through and around marshland and swampland became difficult to do with any given speed.  It was an interesting area, all the swampland with shacks and small log cabins and the like all about in the center, and then some of the nicest beaches around - all owned and none being renovated for populating with beach towns or other trappings of traditional beachfront property - on the outside.<br/><br/>Kiara was, of course, following what was a hand-drawn map on what appeared to be some cloth-like paper to her destination.  The map looked as if it were a joke, being poorly drawn, a simple line from Coldshore to the eastern shores of Shademarsh, with an X marking the spot.  Really, it was as if someone were joking, but the map had been given to her at Drachill College by an Adamant Sage no less, leaders of the Adamantine Arrow and well respected and honorable; none would<em>joke</em>like this.  Of course, to add to the 'joke' feel of the map, there was an arrow pointing to the X as well, with a scrawled 'Here there be dragons!' at the other end of the arrow.  Really, if anybody but an Adamant Sage had...<br/><br/>The road soon shifted to some one-lane, one-way job, bumpy as all hell, but at least it was moving towards the beach, , not toward the marshland and swampland of the interior.  Several more minutes of following the 'map' in the right direction, the road just... stopped.  Right at the beach front, pure, perfectly white and soft sand painted orange by the soon-to-be-setting sun before her, but not a road in sight, and no way her vehicle would be able to properly travel on it.  Luckily, if she moved quickly, she could be at the spot on the cheesy map before the sun went down, with plenty of visibility.  She just had to go on foot, and go north-east up the shore... and she had a feeling she'd know the spot she was supposed to go to when she saw it.
