[Rae'vyn Kaldres]

Late in the Season of Winter, Era XII

Having escaped the hustle and bustle of the city and her family, the tall woman walked through the relatively unknown wilderness, staying far from the forest. She had been cursed and tortured far too much by such mysterious places. Shuddering, the woman wrapped her arms about her thin frame, her lips having gone a shade of pinkish blue. Dark feathered wings were wrapped about thin shoulders, the warmth from the attached blanket keeping her back warm.

Rae’vyn had decided to walk her horse through the wilderness, Jam, the tan mare, having travelled far with the young woman. The horse followed on lazily, Rae’vyn wondered why she held onto the horse at all. Finding a small clump of trees, the ground underneath relatively dry, Rae’vyn took of the saddle bag and set about unpacking the late lunch. Tossing an apple to the horse she settled the blanket on the floor and allowed the animal to wander. Jam never wandered too far from food.

Munching on a thick slice of bread and cheese, the lady and her ice blue eyes watched the distant road, seeing those that moved between the city and the rest of the Empire.
