The Territories of Halla: After Pendragon

"No you won't or you'll have to answer to me. The people of this territory know nothing of the existence of Travelers and we are going to keep it that way."

"Which means I shouldn't bee here. I bet no one has ever seen a Klee before." Kara hissed again.

"I've taken care of that already," Adler stated flatly.

Kara turned away.

Alder beckoned to others. "Follow me."

Kara hissed slightly but did.

Alder led the other to his modest home.

Kara didn't stop growled and hissing under her breath.

"Please make yourselves comfortable. There are some clothes on the table and I will make you some food since it's almost dinner."

Kara stayed outside.

Alder happily started cooking a wonderful 'feast'.
After Anastasia had changed clothes, she peered outside and saw Kara. "Come in!"
Albij nodded. "It'll be cold out soon."

Kara growled. "I don't care!"

"Fine," Albij replied. Freeze your butt off out there."

Kara hissed.

Albij shivered at her coldness, but ignored her as he walked back in.

Albij is gentle, but not quite like Alder.

Kara stared out at the trees. I miss my brother. And my home.

Albij went to help Alder cook the meal.

Kara kept staring. Shaki's not going to last long in his condition. I have to get back! She sprinted into the forest.

When they had finished preparing the meal, they sat down and ate it. Anastasia commented that Alder was a good cook, despite not having tasted any of the ingredients before. Alder smiled and said he knew a bit about Earthling cuisine and had wanted to make her feel at home.
Albij went to bring some food to Kara, but she was gone. "Alder! Kara's gone!"
Alder sprinted to the door. "We need to find her."

Kara bounded from branch to branch as she streaked through the forest. I remember the way to the flume from here. I just hope I'm not too late!

"She probably headed back to the flume. The forest is a short cut...although, I'm not sure she'll be able to find her way through it. I didn't take you that way."

Kara leaped up through the branches and to the very top of the tree. Holding onto a sturdy branch she scanned around until she saw the mountain. Leaping back down she headed toward it.

Alder and the other two Travekers ran through the forest, taking the shortest path to the flume.

Kara finally arrived at the Flume, she stood in front of it.

Alder sprinted into the clearing near the flume, breathing heavily. The younger Travelers arrived behind him. "Kara...! Wait...!"
