(open) Briton winters

[Pandra]

Pandra had started out for Briton just as the first snow fall was starting to happen back in Gaul. She had left a little hate and hoped she wouldn't be caught in a terrible storm or anything else like that. It would fit her mood though. She had said goodbye to Aberth and had things with her that she would keep close to her heart. She couldn't believe all the things that had happened while she had been home and the emotional rollercoaster of a sixteen year old had just gotten worse with a few simple words. Those words of course being said by a guys as the Gods too him. They could be so cruel at times. Of course she knew better then to dwell on the thought of them being cruel. They had a plan for them all and tests that would come along the way. She wasn't sure what this one was but she'd figure it out soon enough. She was on the last leg of her journey. After all she had already sent the horse back to her village.

One could not make it as far had they not gone most of the way on horse back or in a caravan of some sort. She would have liked to go all the way on horse back this time as the nights were getting ever colder and a horse to curl up next too would be nice. However she wasn't too fond of the creatures and they of her. They worked together because they knew there was good in it for both of them. They were friendly but each side knew the other did not prefer them. Life was just funny that way. She looked up and hid behind a tree as she heard noises coming from a little off in the distance. She could hear the speech of Saxons and she was not at all happy about that. She was getting closer to the wall and if they were this close that probably wasn't a good sign.

They passed her and she ran off through the woods the rest of the way until she came to a clearing where she took a breath and then continued to walk as she was sure she had lost them. She was getting closer to the wall and she smiled when she saw it come into view. It was early and the gates had not opened for morning traffic yet so she hid behind a tree just a little down the wall to rest and wait for the movement of the new day to start.

ooc: restarting with her entrance into hadrian after being away. so before everything that happened the last time the site was open. So unless someone wants to keep something around she's starting all over again. PM if you have questions.

[Galahad]

It was too early, far too early to be this awake let alone starting duties for the day. Galahad groaned and ran his hand over the back of his neck trying to work out a chink he was sure had gotten there because he had not had enough sleep. The Gods knew it was too early so why couldn’t Arthur agree with them?! The curly haired knight would rather stay awake half the night, grab something quick to eat and then crawl into bed for the morning rather than having to wake up even before the sun rose. It was cruel and torture and as he stretched he started to wonder why he had not returned home to Sarmatia when he had the chance. But Galahad sighed and shook the thought from his head, time now not to dwell on such things.

Approaching the gate Galahad nodded to one of the guards on duty whom had been on duty last night. The man looked exhausted and was probably waiting to be relived from his tasks. Exchanging a few words Galahad let the soldier go and find his own bed (something the knight wished he could do also!) With a wave of his hand he signalled for the gate to be open and life at the fort to begin once more for the day.

[Pandra]

Pandra had fallen asleep for only moments. She was tired from her journey but she was surprised that she had felt safe enough to do so. She mentally scolded herself and she stretched and looked towards the gate to see it if had opened yet. She wanted to a bed of sorts to sleep in and she wanted to pay with Helena whom she had missed greatly while she was away. The little girl always brought a smile to Pandra's face and that was what Pandra needed in the first place. She waited for the gates to open the the day to start as the sun slowly began to come up over the horizon. The sky turned to a mix of brillant and warm colors despite the coldness that lingered on the land. She watched som activity that seemed to be happening at the wall. Then all at once the gate began to open and she joined the small line that had formed to get into the town. It took all of a few seconds for them to enter and the town to start bussling with early morning workers getting their jobs done before the rest of the people awoke.

Pandra looked around to see which Knight was on duty at the gate today. She was half hoping that it would Tristan or Galahad. The two knights knew more about her then the rest. She smiled when she spotted one burnette Knight. "Hello Galahad." She smiled at him as she ran over to him. She would not keep him from his guard duty for long but she wanted to let him know that she was there and that she wanted to speak with him at a later date anyways. She'd adopted him as an older brother since they had met on Badon hill the year or so before now. Oh what a glorious day that had been.
