Each time John continued in the same direction, Aylyra checked herself. Eventually she decided _when we change direction, I'll do my last double-check_ she thought to herself. WHen the stream arrived, she did this final check, once again showing the truth in John's devining ability. "Since he went upstream from here, we have little choice, now do we?" Aylyra smiled, "and a little water never hurt me before." Checking the edges of the stream, she found a broken arrow. It had fletching done in a style she distinctly recaled as Ixnaphior's. Checking the ground more carefully, she saw a small mound of disturbed earth. Digging for a moment revealed a piece of dear hide. Holding it up she says "It appears he built up his food supply here, and since this arrow has not been washed away, he has been here more recently than the last rianfall. We're DEFINITELY on the right track!" she finished happily. -- "Feel the POWER of the wind" ---Whirlwind |zweldron@ruhets.rutgers.edu "Feel the POWER" --- The Addams Family |zweldron@dorm.rutgers.edu "Never underestimate the POWER of the Twilight Zone" --- Twilight Zone (so I'm on a POWER trip :-)
