Haunted Wood Jon snow doesn't want it

Damien hadn't really expected to come across any hardships on their journey, but the trail down to Haunted Wood hadn't exactly been an easy one. Between one daughter's cries for belongings left behind and a rowdy son who simply wouldn't stay in place, the distance was simply the least of their problems. Thankfully he had his court to help him manage the kids, each of which had been assigned to a guardian halfway through the very first day to make it easier to manage them during the remaining of the journey. @Lumiya was to go with @Megara, as Damien didn't expect her to be much of a problem. Revan would be guarded by Flicker, who was probably the only one capable of keeping up with his pace. Meanwhile, @Zan would stay with her mother, for Damien didn't have what it took to deal with her protests for not being allowed to bring her stuff, and @Venamis would go with @Midar, who he trusted to be his most observant subject and the one best suited to keep the little weasel in check. Damien would simply lead the party (all but @Flicker and Revan who had started moving way faster on the second day of travel), and things were under control.

It lasted long enough for them to reach the mesa that acted as sentinel over their targeted forest, and once there it was just a matter of walking around it to reach their destination. The woods had been described as vast and ominous, and although they didn't match the foreboding sense that vibrated from Blackfeather he could see where they were coming from. Unlike Phantom Hollow, this forest was the kind of place one would be grateful for having, already showing promising features like a large herd of white-tailed deer even from a distance. Perhaps the choice to come here had been the right one after all.
