ELRETH
They made a slow procession down the trail through the Tree City and to where the trail branched to go to the Royal meadow, or off to the Southwest towards the portal. Elreth had known of the location of the portal for years, but had never been into it.
With so many disformed, they walked in human form, but briskly. Despite her weariness, Elreth had plenty of energy—probably because she was nervous—and found herself walking ahead to speak with her parents and Gar, then dropping further back to chat with the females, then pushing ahead again.
After the third time she'd looped the party and Aaryn gave her a concerned look, she shook her head. She needed to calm down focus. So she pushed forward again, tipping her head at Aaryn to follow her, and caught up with Gar, who was walking just behind her parents, who walked quickly, but spoke quietly as if they didn't want to draw attention.
