Tristan wound his way between the darkened trunks which belonged to the towering trees of the black forest.His elven senses picking up nothing from miles around bar his own breathing and quiet footsteps which thudded mesmerisingly on the soil and leaflitter of the forest floor. Feeling himself near the outskirts of what had become his world Tristan slowed even more, not really wanting to meet anyone, though, he had herd that there was a nearby party waiting somewhere along the eastern edge of the forest looking for an escort. He wasnt one to brag, but Tristan was one of the few guides through the black forest who had never had a casualty on a trip, if not the only one!
Reaching the edge he grudgingly scanned the plains infront of him, breathing a sigh of relief as he saw no sign of a party seeking help to find shadow village. Tristan sat on a prominent treeroot and leaned his back against the tree. It would be a long lonely wait he reckoned, but the lonliness was what he enjoyed about this job. And besides, he was a being of the forest. Nothing could fase him in there. Closing his eyes he drifted into a meditation zone. He wasnt asleep, but to any others it would look like it, with slowed breathing and heart rate and the relaxing of all muscles, there were few and far between who would know on sight that his senses were actually heightened in this condidtion. So now he waited.
