((I apologize for the lateness of this post.)) Thick wooden wheels rolled across frozen mud puddles through an inch of powdery snow. Guard First Class Garulth Lofter and Guard Third Class Nolan Festurk rode on horseback behind a cage on wheels, strapped to the backs of four very tired horses. At the front of the cage was Guard Third Class Urfan Dreed. "D'ye hear about Otto?" mumbled Nolan while he chewed on a chunk of dried beef. "What about him?" mumbled Garulth. He halfway paid attention to Nolan while he peered into the cage. Within it was a strange creature, a 7 1/2 foot tall demon of some sort, to Garuth's reckoning. It was charcoal gray in color, and it had large black wings, long black claws, and it looked menacing, very menacing. "Well, Del seen the first LMO report that's supposed t' come round this way, and he was telling me about it," babbled Nolan. "Uh huh," Garulth mumbled as he nudged his horse a few times. Sluggishly, the horse slightly increased its pace to bring him closer to the cage. He hadn't actually taken a good look at the creature since he first saw it. It was dressed in a military uniform of some sort. He looked up above its unconscious body to the swords Nolan and Urfan had confiscated and stacked the, on the wooden bench where Urfan sat. "Well, anyways," continued Nolan, "Del says that the new LM stripped Otto of rank and privledge. Can'ye believe that?" "Otto, huh?" Garulth leaned in closer, "He seems like such a straight-laced guy." The creature seemed to be covered with lacerations, he noticed. He furrowed his brow. "Del says that ees one of the best ees seen." Nolan's horse crept up beside his. "What's there?" Garulth shook his head. "This big one is dressed in a uniform of some sort." He took a pouch of dried apple and began to chew on its contents. "And looks like he was in a fight recently." "I hope this cage holds, it wasn't built for this fella, eh?" They started down the last long, downhill stretch before they would reach the northern edge of MystHaven. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
