Scrayden walked away from the party of adventurers worn and glad to be on the move again. But he also felt a pang of sadness. They were wild, a bit mad really, but it had all worked out in the end. He'd even been able to level up with the help of that mad Druid who helped them.

They came out of the rain and collapsed their umbrellas, shaking them towards the ground.
“It's great to have a bit of rain! I hope it really washes the hear out of the air.”, Carolen said smiling as she tussled her hair to get the drops out.
Harry watched her as he stood there dripping onto the pavement, “You can always see the bright side of things, I wish I had that.”
“You do silly”, she said as she moved beside him and gently gripped his free hand, “I'm your bright side.”
“I win!”, Rusty yelled as he skidded to a halt, looking back.
“Only by a whisker, maybe I let you win...”, said Granpuh Grey coming to a sharp stop, cocking a toothy smile, “have you considered that?”
Rusty wrinkled his nose and rolled his eyes, “You WISH! I'm the fastest kid on the WHOLE Great Highway!”, he said as he widened his arms to take in the whole expanse of his world.
“Maybe, but there is more to the world than this little one, much more.”, said Grey.
