Gorin watched with satisfaction as his hit sent Parkun stumbling to the ground on one knee. He chuckled as he a look of pain come over the young mans face and was tempted to deliver another blow, but thought better of it. Instead Gorin strode past him and waited for him to pick up the pase to resume leading them. He was surprised and outraged when Ash stepped forward and helped Parkun up, this was not the time for such gentlemanly behaviour! Let the wimp be pitied all he wants to be when he gets back to his town of Bree, but out here in the wild they needed to keep moving. He wanted to shout at Ash ignorance for the gravity of the situation , but it would have made things a hundred times worse and instead contented himself with impatiently tapping his axe upon his shield.

Lea and Orin walked in the rear of the company, a smart move on their part, with Ash close by their side. Parkun breathed heavily in the vanguard and was followed closely by Erling and Gorin. Sam stayed in the shadows, and his foot falls were so quiet he was barely even noticed by the group. The wind had picked up and the clouds were drawn back like a veil, revealing the moon and the light that it brought forth. They could see easier now. Only a dwarf could have made such a careless trail of snapped twigs and trampled bushes that much was sure, they barely needed Parkun to lead them the trail was so clear.

Suddenly, the unmistakable voice of Kuric was heard in the distance yelling the battle cry of the dwarf's. The company came to an abrupt halt and listened intently, and a yelp was heard soon after. Gorin's face lit up in a bright smile as he lept for joy. Forgetting his anger he threw his left arm around Parkun's shoulder in a thankful embrace.

"Well done," he exclaimed, "Hurry, let us hasten to him before the battle is won!" He darted off in the direction of the noise and was quickly overtaken by some of the longer legged members of the group.

"Kuric, Kuric!" Gorin yelled laughing as he ran, but little did he realize that his friend could not hear his cries.
