Melody was rather shocked to find that after weeks of traveling, and not without attacks and hardships that the group she was supposed to meet up with had already gone on without her over an hour before!  Thankfully a steed was quickly made available and she was directed on where to go to catch up, who to be looking for as well as the bandits to look out for, and finally was informed that if she rode hard for a fair bit of the ride she would have a chance to catch up to the group.<br/><br/>Thus, about two and a half hours later Melody finally began to see the group off in the distance and spurred her mount on until she was at a point where her voice would carry far enough to reach them.  "Hey!  Wait up!  I'm coming!"  She shouted at the group, slowing the horse down to a trot as she caught up with the group obviously uncomfortable from the ride.<br/><br/>"That's a good horse."  Melody said as she patted the horse.  "Why did you just leave?  I wasn't that late was I?"  She asked, holding up her left hand to show the ring she wore proving her heritage.
