Get Thee Into The World

"Come, my lady. Carefully now." A low, smooth voice called back to the lady in question. Pale, silver eyes looked to the obsidian man and a delicate nod was given. She was ready to be done with this treacherous place. The woman's paws were sore from the uphill battle. The slanted hillsides put strain on muscles that often didn't take such abuse. The bob-tailed fae released a soft sigh and continued on her way. This place had to end at some point. The less breaks they took, the sooner they'd be out. Eydis had recently been released into the wild, as the elders called it. She had been schooled and trained and now she was to fulfill her purpose. Her sisters, not related by blood, but sisters just the same, had gone off in different directions. Each had a guide to lead the way and act as guard. The blue woman's guide came in the form of a male sheepdog, black as pitch. They had been raised together and so their bond was tight. There was no denying though that she was the lady and he was the servant. Despite this, Eydis didn't treat him harshly. In fact, she thought her treatment was quite fair. The Baron, for that was the Groenendael's name, held quite a bit of affection for his mistress. He wanted nothing more than to see her happy and fulfilling her purpose. At the far end of the fjord, the land began to level out. By now, Eydis had had enough. The Baron found a little stream and the slate, snow and sky woman lay alongside it, her sore paws hanging into the flowing water. She had doubts about her journey initially, but the further they went, the more she began to rely on The One. He would lead her where she was supposed to go. Casting her silver gaze towards the dog, the woman spoke in silken tones. "Would that we would find some civilization soon. I could use a decent nights rest out of the elements, as could you." The black dog came up close and lay upon his stomach nearby. Plucking one of her paws from the water, he began to gently massage the sore pads. The woman closed her eyes and released a soft breath of pleasure. She looked forward to the time where she wouldn't be forced into constant travel. "Eydis" --"The Baron"
