Leaving the wagon behind you keep to the trail and head on towards the mountains. On both sides the forest has closed in and borders the path like a green wall. As you ride you see a number of further signs that the trail has been recently used. Bootprints and wagon marks cover the soft earth, there is a number of broken branches and patches ofcrushed foliage that indicates something very large has moved this way. Your interest in the prints turns to concern when you see that not all the prints are those of men. From what you can see two columns of soldiery have passed this way in the last 24 hours. The bootprints are too heavy and too rounded to be that of humans, and the careless way in which the passing bush has been hacked and broken tells you that these soldiers were in a hurry. A further set of prints, definitely those of men follow these strange prints to the west. The fact that you have no idea what is ahead of you gives you great cause for anxiety. Pallenten senses your apprehension and lengthens her gait. With the branches of trees flicking past your head you ride onwards.
