Neverwinter Forest We'll overcome - together we are one

A howl broke the silence of the woodland and Rian lifted his head from the rabbit warren he'd been investigating to cup his ears to the  sound—Ondine. He hesitated on the spot, torn between answering her call, and turning his back. But his heart, the honest man in him, won out and he broke into a run towards the source of the summons. The O'Malley boy emerged onto the scene and cast a glance over to shaggy sea-dog Maude and Amari. Were they the only two? 

Something cold snapped in him, and lanced his heart with an icy spear. A frown pulled at his lips and his brows knit together. This would not do—you're a good person; you're trying, he'd told her, and he believed it. Believed in her, despite everything. His plume lifted to hang parallel with his hips in a semi-dominant fashion as he hopped onto the stump and stood waiting beside the two already gathered. Rian looked towards the distant woods, willing more of those who called themselves Neverwinter to show their colors, just as he had.
