traveled somewhere cold, somewhere new, somewhere cold. If I were to get of my hoarse the snow would go all the way to my ankles. I dare not jump off my hoarse fearing frost bite. I see something in the far distance. It is tough to see what it is from my location though. As I get closer I notice it is two men riding what seems to resemble large chickens. The men jump off their riding animals. They wear warm clothing. They have no distress in the snow. On was fairly all and slim the other short and portly. Both of them had rather large axes on their backs.

"Stop right there Miss." said the portly man holding out his hand. I stopped my horse. I slowed down; because I had my hood on I doubt they knew about me being a drow. "There is a passing tax here. So if you want to pass you'll have to pay up." said the taller man. "I'm sorry but I have no money on me at the moment." I said trying to get them to pester someone else. "We accept other payment methods." said the large man grabbing his crotch. I jumped off my horse and grabbed the handle of my sword on my hip. "Get any closer and I'll castrate you on the spot. You have been warned!" I said warning them. "Is that so?" said the tall man as they both grabbed their axes." Don't make this any harder than it has to be." I said warning them once again. The wind threw back my cloaks hood back. "Ha no one can beat us, especially no god damn drow!

The tall one swung at me first. I grabbed the handle of his axe and swung around with the handle under my arm. He fell to the ground so I proceeded to punch him in the face until he became unconscious. "You'll pay for that you -blam!-!" said the shorter more portly man as he swung his axe towards me. I pulled out my sword and cut through the handle. His right hand that was holding the upper part of his axe flung forward tripping himself over the uncontrolled speed. While he was falling he managed to cut my arm. I placed my foot on his back making it hard to get back up. I also placed my sword to the back of his neck.

"If you manage to get up I will end you." I told him. What do you want, you god damn drow bitch?" He said breathing heavily knowing that he was beat. "Well originally I wanted to go to the next town without dying of frost bite, but now I wanna meat your leader." I told him releasing my foot. "You will now take me to her or you will die." "And what's stopping me from running?" Your friend will be tied to my horse. So if you run I'll just kill him." I said sheathing my sword. I threw the tall one onto my horse and tied his chicken like riding animal to my horse. We started our journey.

About a couple hours into our trip the man on my horse managed to get into a somewhat proper horse riding stance. He was still unconscious. He put his arms around my waist and stumped over onto my back. I would have just pushed him off but it was so cold and the warmth from his body made the trip somewhat bearable. Within a couple minutes he woke up. He then grabbed my arms and pulled them behind my back. "Hey Nickto I got the bitch." he said. "No you don't!" I said pulling my arms forward to make his face hurt more when I hit him with back of my head. He slumped back onto my back unconscious.

"Where is your leader any way Nickto?" I asked. "Lucky for you she's in the next town." He said.
