Two nights later Iceshadow awoke to the sound of crickets. Nothing out of the ordinary at all. Ice opened her eyes slowly and looked around. She was sitting at the base of a tree on a pallet. A fire going a little ways away. The moon was showing a small bit on the other side of the clearing.
Ice tried to sit up and gasped as she sat up at the pain that erupted from her ribs and shoulder. She looked around again and saw another pallet on the other side of the fire. But the camp was empty. What?
Then she remembered the face that she saw before she collapsed Master? How can that be? Ice sniffed the air, if it was him she would recognize his scent. She smelt someone, but it was not him, it was different but at the same time not different.
Ice looked around again and found her scimitars right beside her pallet. She gently touched her ribs where the wound is. It was bandaged, so were the rest of her wounds. Who would do this?
She looked up as she heard footsteps through the forest. She grabed for her sword in a sudden movement that jaarred all her wounds and almost sent her reeling back. A man entered the clearing he wa swearing a long dark grey cloak. The mail armor under the cloak was shinning bright when he neared the fire. The cowl of his hood was low over his face.
He looked up at her staring at her as though he did not know she was there. "Your awake?! Gods i would have thought you to be out at least until morning. "
"Who are you?"
He looked embaressed as he walk to the fire and threw a log on it. "My name is Ederoi Yeata"
"And you have been following me why?"
He smiled softly "because it is my duty to my sworn brother". The man Ederoi looked her in her emerald eyes. They looked to have veins of silver running through them. His eyes are lavender! Ice noted that with a small bit of amusement. But he looks so much like Him.
Now that she saw him in some light and not through a dark haze, she could see the differeces between this man and her master. They were there but few. The way this, Ederoi talked for one. He had a muscical voice like chimes in the wind. Something like her own. The hair that trickled down from under the hood was silver.
Ice frowned at the criptic remark but let it go. She was in too much pain at the moment to dig deeper. "If I was going to kill you I would have done so when i finally caught up to you. You are very adapt at hiding in the forest."
"Thanks I think."
"Lie down before you ruin all my hard work. Your wounds just started to knit." Ice complied. "Now eat this the go back to sleep. You need all you can get after all the blood you lost. He handed Ice a peice of bread and a cup of herbal tea Ice reconized the smell as a healing herb. She drank the tea and ate the bread all while he watched.
Ice knew that if this man decied that she was too much of a hassle he could kill her with out her ever awaking. But she trusted him for som reason. Right before she fell asleep she looked at him "Was that you fighting the orcs? Back there? "she saw him nodd as she fell into a deep sleep.
