Welcome to Gaia! ::

he chuckled, "well you, as the winner of the competion will be getting a special prize some time here. and today im going to have you and artimis collect the food. perhaps we will go set a snare to catch something small that we can eat. if not berries and the like should sustain us jsut fine... i intend to wor a lot with the forge today... i have much work to do and do not think i wil be sleepign the next couple of days," he paused, "makes me feel... content? or happy or something along those lines to know you are enjoying your time with me." titan was weaing in and out of the trees heanding up the group and mavrick was trundling along behind, noting this sk chucked and looked around, "quite the little troop we seem no have now," he said with a laugh.

"great idea if you want. i can start prepairing the earth when i create some of the tools we need to make a garden, irrigation would be tough unless its fairly small or fairly self maintained. herbs would grow with almost no care in the soil here, so would many fruit trees and such, some of the mroe delecate no root veggies would need water but i can haul that from the river," he paused in thought, "you and artimis could go and get some if you wanted while i prepair the area. would be a good outtign for the two of you and maybe mavrick or something."

he shrugged, " art will be up in a hour or two, i am mainly going to be forging for the day, it's still quite early and we have many hours of light left, so if youd like to go back today that is perfecly fine as well. just let me know when you and art are going and ill make sure mavrick comes with you while i stay and work."

he laughed, "well if i point you in a direction can you walk strait? its a straight line back to the village, and ifi had to guess, mav prolly knows the way as well. we are only about 30 or so minutes out of the village and your only obstical is the river, and there are some primo crossing points," he smiled, "i beleive in you zahar, you'd be fine. chances are you might see some of your fellows. id suggest you prepair more for that then the gettign to and from my forge."

he smiled, "well lass, you COULD use this oportunity to learn abotu stealth, in which case i will go with you, and finish my forgeing when i get back, we will just wait for art to wake up then.. though in truth i think it better if you go, you could always wait in the trees and tell him its a game and to be as sneaky as he can if you want thought, sooner or later... and sooner is better, you will ahve to face your friends and family, or we can move way the hell away and you never have to see them again.'

SK shrugged slightly, "everything i have on me is my own," he paused not really understanding why she would even ask, seeing as how there was almost nothing at hid forge either, the question made no sense to him at all. perhaps she was just nervous. he reached into one of the many pouches ant prodced a silver coin and held it to zahar, " well... you should know.. theres nothing at the forge that would belong to them nor that they would need, and as i said, everything i have is my own. so other then this silver coin, to pay for the seeds... worth far less then a silver but this is the smallest denomination coin i ever carry," he wiated for her to take it and said, "so you and the coin and art and mavrick are the only things that need to go back. we are almost at the forge now. then my work can beging."

"sure lass, tis no problem, though my work may wakesrtimis a bit early if i had to guess it can get fairly noisy, and very messy," and nodded in appology," sorry i had misunderstood. there is nothing i need, even the seeds are unnessesary, just you can feel free to go get them if you'd like," who knows yo may get to catch up with old friends.. and as much as that scares you it amy be a good thing."

they walked for a little bit mreo and and the settped out into the clearing the little forge opposite him made him smile. this small quaint shack of a home made him comfortable. it would be the first place he truely owned... his first real home.
