The soldier headed after the maidens as they continued their path into the forest, thinking that for now, he'd be safer with them, than he would be by himself, without the weapon and shield that one of them stole from him. He looked agast when Tara's looked indicated that he was not to follow. "But but... at least give me my weapon back!" he stammered, sweat appearing on his forehead as he discovered what peril he was in. "Without it, you could as well have left me for death, leaving me no chance to survive in the wilderness!" The man begged as he looked at Tara, holding out his own empty palms to emphasis how defensiveless he was.<br/><br/><hr/>Her choice of cloth left Ilynara to advance at reasonable speed, plowing herself through the woods, while the path of broken branches and bent bushes made it easy for the blonde maid to follow after her. Just when the bow and arrows disappeared into thin air, the blonde maiden looked around to spot Dara and Lessly close behind them, close enough to recognize each other. "It's the two from back there, they made it as well!" she commented to her companion, sounding a tad cheerful. "Good, the more the merrier, and the safer we will be!"<br/><br/>The sounds of chaos and the smell of fire behind them were quickly out of reach, being replaced by the sounds of forest animals and the wind blowing throught the leaves, and the smell of unrept nature. A little ahead, coming in from their right, crawls a small stream of water, crossing their path. Bending off to the left would keep them away from the stream and it's vulnerability. On the other hand, the stream itself provided a natural clearing, allowing them to move faster.
