Deeper In The Forest...

You wander deeper into the woods, happy to be away from the harsh presence of Larsee. You walk for a long time without hearing anything but the sound of leaves crackling under your feet. Then, finally, you hear a rustling. You stop, and three dogs emerge from behind trees, sitting before you.

The dog in the middle speaks first. "I am Roxy," she says softly. "The chihuahua is Trixie...and this is Pharoe." Trixie sniffs the air, saying in a fast hyper voice "WhoAreYou?! WhatDoYouWant?!" Pharoe puts a paw over her mouth. "I'm sorry, you cannot pass here," he says. Roxy growls slightly. "Shut up, Pharoe. You may pass through here." She points to a smaller path that leads to an open field.
