Scallahan kept up his pace as best he could as he and Jaklyn passed Mermaid pools, wyvern groves, Wyrm rests, and many other mythical nesting sites until finally he stopped. "We be not far now, jus' a few more miles till we reach the village." he was out of breath and could barely get the words out.

Jaklyn was winded, but barely. She was running on determination. She had little else to go on, her body was thin, from worryand mental anguish these last couple weeks. But her muscles remembered how to run. "Good." She said, her mind turning over his words in her mind. In her blind determination, she had almost completely ignored the surrounding wonders.

He dug deep into a satchel, handing her a piece of jerky. "Ye migh' need tah have somethin' afore we git goin. I be thinkin...." he stopped listening to the forest around. He spoke very quietly. "Wait......stay quiet, and don't move a muscle." he was suddenly very tense.

She didn't speak, her muscles tensing to run. She held the food clenched in one hand, and her senses were alerted. Her heart rate increased.

"It may be just a false alarm, ye can relax some, but, be ready to run."

She allowed a miniscule amount of relaxation to occur, not trusting of the world around her.

After a time he stood. "I think we can be goin now. It's just a little ways from here, we may as well walk." he walked off, all of the sudden very relaxed.

Jaklyn did not relax nearly as easily. "What was that about?" She asked, her voice low and rough.

"Ah." At the obscure mention of Nik she remembered why she was here in the first place. She didn't know what to do, only that she was told not to follow him. So she did.

"Aye." as they walked they soon came upon a small hut. "There." he pointed, stopping in place, then continued walking. "I don't know 'ow this is goin' tah turn out but, so we go."

She approached the hut in silence and was startled when the door opened. "Who is it?" Asked a voice from inside. "Identify yourself."

"Scallahan?" The voice asked. "Who is with you?"
Jaklyn was struck silent.

"It's.......yer daughter.....she....she came here to find you..." he looked to Jaklyn and gave a discreet wink.
