There have been some clues and forshadowings which Shelly did not relate in his little synopsis. Nor was it his duty to do so. That is why I recommend reading the thread whenever possible, not because I am lazy. You will not see a synopsis from me ever again. I will refrain from saying anything in the future about it, however, to anyone who asks.)

(You have expressed a desire for Galion to be an important part of the story.  For anyone who wishes to be an integral part of an RP, I offer this advice.  First, read the threads.  Create a character who fits the storyline.  Then be active.  Have your character participate--a lot.  Usually I don't join an RP until the story has progressed far enough for me to get a sense of who I need to be and what I need to do.)

Anwen, after watching the two soldiers beat each other down, lifted her axe and cracked them with the blunt end to knock them both out. She searched their bodies for anything of value and then re-slung her lute and packed things in her pouches. Byran was coming out of the inner cave by then, carrying his unconscious prisoner. She pulled her cloak tightly about her and followed him silently. The sun was rising in the east now, glaring off the snow, the ice and the water and making it difficult to see.

She placed her feet with care.

(Today is my birthday.  I am completely and totally depressed.) (Thanks for the advice, and happy birthday my friend.)
