Perils of Adventure Ch.01 - Silke

... thirty paces back of the scouts, far enough that it took a few moments before they could be heard over the wind.

Estelle, the tall lady-knight who had been responsible for gathering their party, strode at the front of the pack, her face set firmly in an emotionless grimace. Silke wouldn't have said she was fond of their supposed leader, per se, but the redhead was at least more tolerable than most highborns. She didn't actively talk down to those around her and had paid half of the coin she promised up front, so she was alright in Silke's books. Not that she wouldn't still pick the woman's pocket when they parted ways.

“What's the news?” the tall redhead asked as soon as Silke was within shouting range. She never had been a particularly patient sort.

“Keire thinks we can find shelter in those hills, but we need to pick up the pace if we want to make it before the storm hits.” That wasn't exactly what the huntress had said, perhaps, but a street orphan like Silke had once been learns fast that hope is a far better motivator than despair.

Out of all our novice adventuresses it was that pair who knew one another the best, having been close since they were, well, very young. Neither girl had ever known exactly how old she was, after all. Growing up they had run with the same gang of street kids, and once they aged out of that life they had moved on together. In the years since they had remained partners in crime, literally so more often than not. Silke provided the finesse for their frequently ill-advised schemes while Vissi backed her up by way of the unpredictable arcane talents which had manifested in her from a young age. So it was only natural that when Estelle had come recruiting the two girls had signed up together, drawn in by the promise of a little fame and a lot of money.

Even with the company accelerating to a near jog, it took Silke and her comrades almost ten minutes to reach the hills Keire was leading them towards. By the time they arrived the first wave of rain had already hit, falling in sheets to soak through their clothes and packs alike. A frantic search ensued, the girls' need for shelter growing more desperate with every minute that passed.
