*The site of an woman on the path towards Wolfenden wasn't an uncommon one people traversed these roads everyday *
*But this young maiden was different and she stood out..for one her skin was a strange color it had a grayish tint to it, for another she wore upon her head what looked like a roman soldier's helmet and last but by no means least she stood eight and a half feet tall. These factors marked her out as a Troll Maiden. To be 100% accurate she was a half-ling half Troll half human.*
*She had a backpack on her bag and slung from it was her Troll axe, no self respecting troll would be caught with out one. There was one more striking feature about this Troll Maiden. She wasn't alone. She had a traveling companion.*
*The Troll Maiden stopped for a moment or two took off her helmet and whipped the sweat from her brow with a handkerchief that she pulled from one of her pockets. She put the helmet back on then turned and looked behind her*
"Come on Theodora...why are you always lagging behind?"
*she asked her companion*

"Not my fault your so.... tall."
Theodora grumbled, picking her pace up a little to catch up with Esmeralda.
"You have a bigger stride than me Es... remember?"
She had been following Esmeralda for as long as she could remember, the girl was taller than her, and had a bigger stride as she had said. What she had not said was that she would never be able to keep up with the girl.

*The Troll maiden, Esmeralda Bulstrode smiled softly at her small companion*
"Yes I know Theodora. I'm sorry I just forget sometimes that you can't cover as much ground as me. But look upahead"
*she gestured*
"Wolfenden lays there. We've nearly made it. Why don't we sit down and have a rest...I think I still have some bread and cheese left we can eat."
*She said putting her ruck sack down and rummaging around inside it*

Theodora had sunk to her knees smiling thankfully, unable to hide her smirk.
"About time, lanky."
The words were soft and very, very teasing. She had watched in silence as Esmeralda dug in the pack, she would wait patiently for the girl to find some food. She had no need to hassle the woman, she would just wait.

*What neither Esmeralda or Theodora knew was they were being followed from the shadows and that their stalker had also stopped to watch them*

*Esmeralda finaly found the food, wrapped in some cheese cloth. She passed some to Theodora and kept some for herself to eat*
"By the way thanks for being there to meet me when I....you know"
*Es said to her friend as she ate.*
"I wasn't expecting there to be anyone there at all"

"Yeah well, remember what I said before you went in?"
Theodora asked gently, taking a few small bites of her food before adding.
"We're sisters."
She fell silence and ate a little more, pausing to sip from her water flask before eating a little more.
"Besides, I really don't want you going back there and if by coming with you I can stop that happening... I'm in."

*Esmeralda smiled*
"Well hopefully neither of us will end up going 'there' for this little escapade. By the way have you still got that parchment right?"
*she asked*

"Hidden someplace nobody dares go...."
Theodora smirked.
"but yes,... I have it."

*Esmaralda smiled*
"Well get it out and lets have another look at it.."
*Es said*

Theodora smirked, rummaging down the front of her dress and finally produced the parchement, barely keeping herself from laughing.
"Don't even ask me where that came from..."

*Es smirked*
"I wouldn't dream of it."
*She retorted, she looked at the parchment she read what she could but as normal the last paragraph flummoxed her*
"Oh why didn't I learn Latin like my mother wanted me to?"
*she sighed*

"Which bit?"
Theodora asked softly, leaning in a little closer to attempt to read it.

"That's not Latin..."
Theodora muttered.
"It appears to be some kind of... back-slang."
