Gathering in the Forest of Fog

[Lynn1020]

[SIZE=16]*Amanda heads into the Forest of Fog looking for various things needed for her scribing.  As she bends down to pick a few peppermint leaves she spots the glow from a campfire near by.  Staying surrounded by her illusion and keeping her sight up, she tip toes closer to see who is at the camp.   Once she sees it is a young boy, she waves away the illusion and approaches the boy slowly with a soft smile.  Being careful not to frighten the child she sits across the fire from him and begins to talk with him.  She tries to find out who the child is and why he is in the forest alone. *[/SIZE]



//Most likely this is a set up left over from a quest. But Amanda couldn't just walk past the little boy alone in the forest for the spiders to have for snack.

* The little boy doesn't talk.

He stares at her wordlessly, his expression neither vacant nor full of emotion.

After several moments of completely ignoring her questions or careful reassurances, he gets up very quietly, and walks off.
Should she try to follow, she would find him vanish as he walks around a tree, as though he were never there, and no tracks would remain from a small pile or rye.

Later that evening, when the bizzare incident is just about to leave her mind, his face comes to her mind.
With startling imagery and clarity, all she see's is hair like night... skin like snow....*
