20 Travel and The Esmar Forest

The next morning after sleeping for 2 or 3 hours Adrian raised and left with his bow and stones inscribed with runes to the doors of the school.

Once arrived a Carriage was waiting for him with Eldrich sitting in the driver's seat.

"Good morning, young master, where should I take you?" Said Eldrich,Hello Eldrich, The Esmar Forest please and do not bother me during the trip I'm going to sleep ".

"I have to go get a plant in the forest alone, it's a mission of the school."said Adrian while entering the carriage.

During the trip Adrian slept for 9 hours and then watched the carriage, he passed in a village at the present time, the village seemed extremely poor, the wooden houses and their straw roof, many people lived on the streets Even children sold vegetables that seemed to be small compared to vegetable found in town, apparently the harvest was not good this year and winter was coming but Adrian could not do anything for them.

They left the village 30 minutes later and arrived on a muddy path, The empire has no money apparently to devote to the construction of roads leading to small village, that the reason why merchants does not visit these small village and even if they passed nobody would not have money or something to exchange for goods.

The rest of the trip was spent on muddy roads, after a few hours they reached the forest of Esmar.

At the entrance of the forest the only thing that could be seen were trees and grass up to the knees.

"Young Master here is everything you asked me to bring in your letter", Adrian the day he knows he had to go in the forest send a letter back to his familly to get foods and water for the time he's going to be in the forest.

The food was very simple, mostly dry meat.

Adrian activated his vision and was horrified.Particles in huge quantities and some very far draw the shape of wolf and bear, he decided not to approach his areas in the future and to avoid any creature that would have mutated.

Adrian was not there for only the plant he had another goal in mind, his training in particle control and try the power of his arrow on animals.

He said goodbye to Eldrich and he entered to the forest, the first thing that marked him was the woody smell and the concentration of particles of wood, wind and water, he searched for a moment a clear place on which he was going to settle definitely during his stay in the forest.

He walked for over an hour before finding a flat, treeless spot and began installing rune "Vern" (shield) on the approaches to his camp.

Night fell and inscribed the rune "Sar" on twigs he had rammed in his way when coming here.

A fire emerged from the twigs, he used the fire to light and warm up but especially to keep the animals away.

Adrian fell asleep in the tent he had brought with him, he woke the next morning, the fire extinguished, the birds singing, he got up.

He activated his vision, according to the description The Orchid ferunis grew in places where particles of wood and water was in large quantities, usually on the edge of a lake or river in the forest.

He saw 3 place where the concentration of energy was sufficient for the plant to grow but the problem is that the 3 was occupied by a mutated beast. Adrian frowned and continued to search around him but unfortunately he found nothing but 3 places.
