Shantotto closed her eyes, listening to the hooting of owls, and the howls of wolves hunting. She had already heard the sounds of people passing by, along the pathway she herself had taken, though she wanted to avoid contact with people for the time being, the only people who would travel at night would be poachers, brigands and thieves. None of which she wanted to deal with this evening. She already had enough blood on her hands back home she didn't need to come here to spill even more.
With the moon rising slowly in the nighttime sky Shantotto closed her eyes finally. Even without her magic sleep came easy as if she was back home, that is that every hair stood on end despite the restful sleep she got.
The sound of leaves and twigs crunching underfoot jarred Shantotto awake as her brown eyes adjusted to the lack of light in the early hours of the morning.
“Wat oo we ave ere?” A scruffy voice spoke into the darkness, “ooks like a Sqeerrel” A second voice replied. Shantotto sighed with exasperation as she sat up in the hammock, the linen fabrix swaying under her as she turned to face the two men.
“Pardon me you fine fellows, but perhaps such language is best served manning the bellows?” Shantotto said with a small degree of irritation
