THE ROAD TO SHADOW GLEN

Since Aurora's employer was traveling, she decided to use the time to take a short trip inland. In the nearby foothills was an artistic village she had heard about called Shadow Glen. It was about two days walk from her seaside city of Silver Harbor, though only a few hours ride. However, all the Master's horses were unavailable, so she had no choice but to walk.

Taking her sketchbook, a small pack, some camping equipment and food, she put on a sturdy, well-fitted navy blue walking dress, a dark cloak, picked up her cedar wood staff, and set out towards Shadow Glen.

On the way out of town, she passed a merchant's wagon coming into Silver Harbor from the northeastern road. The merchant, a local whom her employer occasionally did business with, smiled at her as she passed his cart.

His gaze moved over her figure quickly, lingering a bit longer on her ample, but well covered chest, before resting on her face. "Where are you headed?" he asked politely, noting the staff and traveling pack.

"Shadow Glen, for the art festival."

He nodded. "Oh yes, it's due to start in a few days, isn't it?"

She smiled. "I'm hoping to talk to some artists and make some friends."

He chuckled, as his gaze drifted slowly back down to her chest. "I'm sure you'll have no trouble." It was the most dressed he'd seen the housemaid in a while. "Just be careful. With the festival, bandits are sure to be prowling the roadway, looking for the unwary."

She nodded. "I will. I don't think they will bother with me. I have little money or jewelry to steal."

He nodded. "Just be careful. Don't travel at night, stay in an inn."

"I will."

"Good luck." He snapped his crop, and headed his wagon into the city.

Aurora began walking. For the first few hours, she passed many different people on the road, chatted with some and flirted with others. It was all very pleasant.

After a while, the traffic thinned out, and as the day went on, eventually became nothing. As she turned onto the road leading to Shadow Glen, it was late afternoon.

The road led into the forest, and Aurora knew she should be stopping soon. The next inn she came upon, she would stop at. The only thing was, she didn't see any more inns, and wondered if there were any on this road.

The light was fading, and she began to wonder if she would have to camp instead.

She continued to walk into the forest, following the road, and looking for a good place to camp, as night fell. She lit a small lamp she carried with her, and continued on.

After a while, she began to get the feeling she was being followed. She continued to walk, glancing around her occasionally. She pulled her hood up over her head, and walked faster.

She had quickened her step, but wasn't watching where she was going, and tripped over a rut in the road. The lamp slid out of her hands and crashed to the ground.
