A huge expanse of forest stretching from Galf to Rishla. The great forest is nearly impassable unless you have a compass or already know the way. Many an adventurer have gotten themselves lost in this enormous forest.

Running into the great woods Cross dove behind one of the trees hiding from any guards who may have still been pursuing him. "Hmm... looks clear." Leaning against the tree for a few moments he stopped to catch his breath. Looking over to his newfound partner in crime he smiled. "So. What's your story?"

"Me, I've got the whole orphan sap story, parents die, I run away, you know how it is," He looked at the groud while saying it. "How about you mate?" He sat down.

"Kinda the same." Cross laughed. "Orphan, raised by kind people, people get killed, run off and become a famous thief." rubbing the back of his neck Cross looked up at the sky. "But that's not important now. Even with a compass there's a huge chance we'll get lost in these woods, and I'm pretty drained for magic right now so, do you wanna rest here or get going right now?"

"I need to catch my breath, this bag weighs a ton," he laughed. "I got some Type 4 C-rations. I've never had on before but they look like they can come in handy," he says while opening one. "Lets see," he then reads the contents of the C-ration aloud. "Seems to be two of every thing," Strelok gives half of it to Cross. "This should do us for the day."

Taking out the cheese bar Cross began nibbling on it. After a few minutes he began laughing and staring off into the sky. It was weird, actually his life was weird, but he always managed to make friends in the weirdest places. "You know, this reminds me of the time I met Sam." He slowly began reminiscing.

"Sam?" he tilted his head while asking. He looked at his chocolate bar trying to figure out the puzzle of how to open it. "God this thing is child proof," he mumbled.

Cross laughed. "Tear it wear the dotted line is." He tried to point it out but probably didn't help. "Yeah, she's a friend of mine. Met her the last time I was thrown in prison actually."

Strelok tried tearing it across the dotted line, he failed. "Prison eh? I've never been there myself, but hey you know. So what's the deal with this Sam?

"Oh, nothing special. Just the way we met reminded me of her." He sighed. "Trust me, I've had weirder experiences. I've been through a lot of crap."

"I've been throuh a lot too, just never spent time with any one till now." Strelok gave up on the candy bar and pulled out his combat knife. He sliced the bar in half. "I win," he said while taunting the candy bar.

((Blarg, I'm gonna have to get off soon, unfortunately.))
Cross laughed as he pulled himself back to his feet. "Okay." He stretched a bit then looked at his compass. "We're off!" Walking in the direction the compass pointed he moved at a slow pace so his comrade could keep up.

((Yah same this is my last post for the night.))
Strelok ate his candy as he followed close behind Cross. "Thanks for letting me tag along mate, I have no more safehouses to hide in anymore.

A young woman sat in a clearing nearby, glaring at a little girl, "How do you lose a compass as big as your hand?!" she asked, pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head.
The little girl blinked, "I dont know, I just do, now what do we do?"
The woman took a deep breath, sighing through her nose, "Let's see.... if we can get high enough, we'll be able to see any nearby town... so..... we go up." she muttered, "But I cant climb..."

Cross walked into the clearing, following the compass' needle. Looking up he saw the two girls. "Huh?" Waving he shouted to them. "Hey! You guys lost too!?"
