At the West Gate, Rebecca sees an escort of six men on horseback, long wool navy coats and sabers in their scabbards. General Mwwr is the man wearing the black hat and green scarf.

Before they reach this contingent, Wyatt approaches Rebecca, nudging Demon gently, then asks her quietly, "What's tha story behind tha ambush ya told tha Captain about?"

"Not much more to it," she replies lowly. "I fill in what little more I know when we're alone."

Rebecca lifts a hand to hail the General, and dials her drawl back a notch. "Sir. Thank ya for meetin' me."

Wyatt nods, dragging on his cigar and puffing smoke all around.

General Mwwr regards Rebecca and Wyatt for only a moment and quickly lowers his hat and bows his head low. His men do as well.

General Mwwr's visage looks old, very old. His face is riddled with lines and tiny folds. Only his sharp grey eyes let energy transpire. He seems physically fit and sits on his horse quite normally.

"It is an honor to offer my time, your Highness," he responds politely, smiling at Rebecca and Wyatt.

"I'll get right ta the point then," Rebecaa replies, straightening in the saddle. "This mission ta Graymoor was important ta my father. But things bein' what they are, I think I need ta get there an' get out quickly as possible ta get back here and make sure Dad still has a place ta rule when he gets back. I'm hesitatin' 'bout takin' even one of my father's loyal men from Amber while he's away, but I can't raise Finn on the Trumps, an' I got no way of knowin' for certain what we're walkin' into now."

"Please, your Highness. I insist. Being his General I am closely aware of what the King intends to accomplish with Greymoor and my son wishes to be a part of it. I believe he can bring much to your expedition there. It will prove to be an invaluable resource, I am quite certain."

She smiles wide. "Much obliged, sir. I'll gladly accept any assistance that helps us achieve what my father wishes in Graymoor."

"Excellent! I hope that you will see that the House of Mwwr supports you and your Father's wishes in most everything you endeavor to accomplish."

Rebecca sits up regally in the saddle. One can almost see the mantle of 'Princess' settle over her. "The House of Eric recognizes this and deeply appreciates the House of Mwwr, and that their support is in more then words."

General Mwwr bows his head low for several moments. He seems very proud. Finally, he raises his head and says, "Very good, I trust in your safe return now that I know my son's forces will be watching over you."

"Thank you, General," Rebecca smiles. "And now we must say our farewells and get on the road. Guard my father's kingdom in our absence."

"And may you have an easy time doing his bidding outside of the Kingdom," he says with another bow. The swordsmen also bow and watch them leave, past the western gate and into the mountainous woodlands that will lead them into Arden.

...

After about an hour's trek into Arden, they come upon a recent camp, two days maybe. They've seen the scouts a few minutes before and everything is much like what Rebecca might have expected. A small independent cavalry force.

They only stay at the camp long enough to for Rebecca to determine how long since anyone's been there, and then they are once again tracking the younger Mwwr's contingent.

Can ya find 'em, Demon?

Nihilistic Mind · Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2009 7:33 pm Post subject:

I can, he answers, and they get off the forest path.

It is easy enough to track, they are not hiding their mark very well, and they must simply not be trying to. Rebecca's guess is that they had to move out of necessity.

After a half an hour, they spot the contingent. Most men are mounted and ready for travel. "Over here!" a man calls out. He wears a green shirt and a chain armor and leather chestpiece, old fashioned but invaluable to some.

He looks much like his father and he is the only one to bow when Rebecca's group approaches. He smiles broadly and says, "Oh good, I was afraid you wouldn't find us right away. Right on time, I see. I trust you're all set? Let's talk as we travel..."

He does not wait for an answer, whistles and points further into the virgin parts of the Arden Forest, where it is dense and hardly traveled.

Once they are moving, he falls back with Rebecca and Wyatt and smiles to them, "Pleased to meet you! I am Ganelon Mwwr!"

That's fine with Rebecca. She's more then ready be get going.

"Recon ya know who I am, Ganelon," she smiles lazily. "And this here's Wyatt. You know the way to Greymoor from here?"

He nods to Wyatt and Wyatt nods back.

"I do," Ganelon answers. "I was one who went with Julian a week ago, although the rest of us did not go into Greymoor itself... And unless I have been misled by your Uncle, I can take you there," he chuckles at the notion.
