Antheia Ferrington
Antheia smirked a laugh. "You don't know where to go. I do. I can lead you." She stood to her full height and went to stand beside Shivaun. "I'm no trouble, really. I know how to trap and I can read the stars. My father taught me. Please? I want to ask the Wise a question. I need to know where my brother is, if he's still alive. I can't do it alone, but together..." Her voice faltered as tears came to her eyes. She wipped them away quickly before Shivaun could see, but he saw them.
A part of his heart tugged at him, yet he was still weary of allowing her to join him. "And what if something happens to you. I'll be blamed, I could be condemed, or worse."
"You worry to much" Antheia spoke up, a little to loudly. "Its an adventure!" she opened her arms wide, her fingers lightly touching trunks of trees. "They speak to me, Shivaun. They say go, all will be well. Go on this adventure. My parents might worry, but the trees promise to look after them."
Shivaun turned on his heals, grabbing Antheia's arms and pulling them down beside her. "You speak to trees?" he whispered.
Antheia nodded her head, her smile fading. "They speak to me" she stated. "Its the reason they took my brother. They would have taken me too if I had shown what I could do. But they didn't. Maybe they didn't want women. My father kept me safe."
Shivaun let go, his head swimming with thoughts. "If you can talk to trees, and they to you.... damn."
Antheia began walking towards the end of the north field. "Well don't just stand there, come on."
Antheia smirked a laugh. "You don't know where to go. I do. I can lead you." She stood to her full height and went to stand beside Shivaun. "I'm no trouble, really.
