They awoke early in the morning, as they had agreed. Rimalus, Carius and Andragil headed east, deeper into the forest to hunt for food.

Despite the first hour not turning up any prey, Carius was giddy with glee.

This is the happiest I have seen him since before all this mess. Rimalus thought. He was not using a bow, as the Bosmer had their only one. So he helped in tracking and spotting animals, and would led his sword to skin the kill.

The elf didn't talk, she was focused on the hunt. She used hand signals, most of which Rimalus didn't understand, to talk with the two Imperials.

Rimalus kneeled down, inspecting some tracks. "A deer, fresh tracks. Heading north."

Andragil turned and headed in that direction. They followed close behind.

"Can I have a sword?" The boy asked.

"You are seven." Rimalus replied. "You are too young."

"I am almost eight, my birthday is next week." He retorted.

"Shh." Andragil shut them up, as she saw the deer up ahead. They stayed behind as she sneaked closer and took her shot, hitting the target true. Rimalus went over to fetch the kill and carried it as they headed back to the camp.

By the time they arrived the others were all awake and had cleared up the camp.

"A deer." Sofie said spotting the kill.

"Yes dear, Andragil and the others got us food." Edla said.

Sofie looked sad at the sight of the dead animal. She was older than Carius, though only by a few months.

"This one is glad to eat something other than rabbit for once." Dar'Ghasta muttered.

Rimalus set the animal down and the Bosmer and the Khajiit helped him clean the kill. Edla and Danus took the four kids away as they were busy cutting up the deer. Allian stayed sitting, depressed, on a stump.

After they were done they stashed the meat in their packs and headed back to the road. It was midday as they started north again. They walked for only half an hour when they spotted something a mile up ahead.

"Gods have mercy..." The Khajiit muttered, he was the first to spot it.

"What is it?" Danus asked.

"Death. Lots and lots of death." He replied.

Not understanding what he meant, Danus cast a spell and gasped. "Run." He said.

"What?" Rimalus asked this time.

"Run for the woods! That is a horde of the dead!" Danus explained.

The group started hearing the dozens upon dozens of groans and moans comming from the horde. It wasn't as large as the horde that Rimalus had seen in Green Emperor Way but it was over 30, or maybe 40, dead and they were heading south. The group ran east, running for the woods.
