The winds blew lightly carrying the sweet scent of spring blossoms with it. A soft smile came to the young dwarfs soft lips. For she loved the spring it was the time of new beginings, new starts.... Her green eyes looked to the sky above a few blirds flew within her vision, the sun was bright and the sky was blue with puffy white coulds floating by slowly... Her smile widened for she knew time of change was on the horizon... She stopped on top of a hill to gaze and the view below in the low valley... for the kingdom that say below caught the rays of the sun making it shimmer. Though she still had a ways to go before she came upon the legendary gates of Avalon... and the city within... She lifted her hand to push back the hood that covered her face, letting it drop, it revealed her flaming orange hair that was for once not in a braid but let down loose framing her face. She closed her eyes and let the wind blow through her hair... setting her heart at peace for she felt this would soon become her new home... The day was warm and young she looked to her side at the mini horse the bore her beloning. She smirked and patted the beasts neck, taking the reins she lead the horse down the hillside and into the forest that separated her from her destination. She was soon within the thick forest her companion beside her whom she lead over the path carefully. Her right hand on her mace hilt and the other holding her horse. Her eyes studied the surrounding trees, watching for movement... Plants rustled behind her as she turned to look, swearing she had seen something bolt into the shadows but unsure of what it was....Startled birds flew up to her left sending out a loud chatter of bird calls, her horse nicker nerveriously as it flattened its ears though they occasion flickered at each sound of the forest. She spoke softly to the beast trying to calm him down.... "ye need to hush now me friend, we be out of this dark place soon enough...." She gently patted the animals neck... She wasen't to bothered the the bird flight for she though that it may just be her passing that startled the poor birds... she hopped it was true... Her eyes darted here and there as another rustling came from the other side, and more creatues took flight or came running across her path startling her horse, who reared up. It took all her strength to prevent the creature from bolting away with her belongings.... Soon the creature was calmed somewhat anyway... She sighed as she turned to face the path a figure slipped out in front of her..... she turned to flee with her horse when two other feinds appeared behind her cutting off either escape route... she cursed softly... kinda out of character for a preistess, but not a dwarf....she studied her situation.... she might beable to fend the bandits off but... Daggers flashed in the light as the men advanced... she took out her mace saying a short prayer and faced the first man... The man lunged for her and she quickly sidestepped and broought her mace down in a arc onto the mans back knocking him down.... out for a moment.... she spun to face the other two who were now advancing upon her... her startled horse bolted towards the end of the forest and out towards the gates to the city.. She cursed once more and noticed the other man was getting up. The men Surrounded her... She knew she could take 1 maybe 2 but most defenatly not 3.... She hoped someone would have seen her horse bolt from the forest in fear.... and would hopefully come to her aid.....
