Well that was an...interesting introduction.  Gone as quick as he had come, if Ivory wasn't left with the memory of the man or couldn't feel the continued racing of her heart, she wouldn't have known he had existed in the first place.  "...Goodbye then." The solar breathes out before she finishes packing her belongings.<br/><br/>The next day or so was close to unbearable.  Ivory Dove found herself glancing behind herself at every turn; she could feel a stare at the back of her neck; and it was more than a little unnerving.<br/><br/>The night was even worse. She couldn't sleep for the life of her, and when she finally managed to do so; her dreams left her restless, panting, desperate for something that her very soul cried out for.<br/><br/>So that morning, she work up frustrated; both do to a lack of sexual release, and a major sense of sleep deprivation.  And more than a little cranky.<br/><br/>This had her not paying much attention to the cat that found its way along every road she turned on, or the chicken that clucked in her shadows.  When she did take note of them however, it wasn't long before they would take off.<br/><br/>An oddity, to be certain.<br/><br/>But then, when she wanted to find a guide; she knew she had a choice to make.  She could go north, where two ruins would be, but were both much farther away; or she could go east, into the densest part of the forests, and check for ruins there; and it would be half the distance the other two would be.<br/><br/>After hiring a guide, she makes her choice.<br/><br/>"To the east." She orders to the guide, who thereupon begins to guide the donkey laden with traveling stuffs towards the dirt road along the way.  They wouldn't have a road to use for long, but while they DID have it, might as well put it to use.<br/>
