In the middle of the Ridgewood Mountains lies a sacred druid burial ground. Throughout this land, hundreds of gravestones are scattered about. The names of druids and their allies can be found on the gravestone faces. A small creek cuts though the middle of the burial ground and runs off the eastern edge leading to a short waterfall. Near the eastern edge, three graves have been freshly dug. In front of them stand two young mercenaries. One, a young woman with long; blonde hair. Her face is tear streaked and her mage robes are torn and dirty. The other, a young man with medium length hair. His face shows no emotion as he stares at the graves."What're we going to do now?" the woman cries, "We can't continue travelling if Havelner is on the run and the others are... dead. Slaughtered.""There. There. It'll be alright"the man says assuredly; placing a hand on the woman's shoulder. She looks up at him and says"How do you know that? Havelner's strong. He's sure to come back and kill us. He killed the others and we managed to get away. He's going to come for us, I know it!""Havelner won't find us because we will no longer be here"he says."What?! Why?!"the girl asks with a surprised tone in her voice."We're going to go live in Starkwood Forest. It's a ways away from here, but, I hear it's real nice."the man says."We?"the girls says with a confused look on her face. A nervous look comes upon the man's face as he runs his hand through his hair."Um, there's something I have been meaning to ask you..."he says nervously."Yeah? What is it?"the girl says, placing her hand on his."I was wondering if you have ever thought about there being an 'Us'?"he says."Well, I have... and, I do like you an awful lot! You're a sweet young man"she says sweetly, "And, you did save me when Havelner and those demons came after me...""So, you like me?!"the man says happily."Yes, with all my heart!"the girls says with a smile. The boy laughs and gives her a quick hug."Well? What're we waiting for?! Let's get out of here!" he says excitedly,"I can't wait til we get to Starkwood! We'll have a little farm and a garden..." The girl grabs hold of his hand and they run out of the burial ground together; laughing happily...
