"[color=lightcoral]Just anywhere's fine?[/color]"  

"Yes, thank you ma'am!  I'm ashamed to say I don't think I could pull off anything like that. No, no. Not at all."

Mari carried a heavy load of lumber as she smiled at the old man she was assisting.  "[color=lightcoral]It is not a problem. I'm just glad I could help you when you're feeling sickly.[/color]"   She dropped the load of wood next to the man's house, doing a few stretches afterward.  Perhaps she was too kind at times, but it was just in her nature at this point.  The old man was smiling so she was too.  "[color=lightcoral]Now you can do whatever it is you need to do with it.[/color]"

The old man leaned in on his axe and gave a hearty smile, "Is there anything I can give you? In return that is."  He seemed insistent on some, anything.  "There must be something, anything."  As he spoke, a weird ball of light appeared right next to Mari's head.  The old man questioned the woman, "What is this?  Magic?"

Mari stared at the light as it wisped around her head.  "[color=lightcoral]Perhaps it's a sigh from a god." She said without a single bit of hesitation.  "[color=lightcoral]Perhaps it is Jergal willing me elsewhere.[/color]"  With a small wave she continued, "[color=lightcoral]I believe I know where I must go now. Peace be with you, sir.[/color]"  A definite sojourn from her second trip around the continent, she could feel the strings of fate tugging at her to go where they willed.  Perhaps this would be the reason she was chosen?
