Nym awoke with a start and sat up in bed, woken by the slamming of her shutters in the wind. I can go home today. Olostin's Hold lay between Yartar and Everlund in the High Forest. She had been away from home so long and was so focused on getting to Silverymoon, she'd nearly forgotten.
It was early still, maybe 4am. The sun had not begun to creep up quite yet. Nym walked over to the window and closed the shutters. She dressed in the dark and collected her things before slipping downstairs in the inn. Aside for the normal creaks and groans of a building, the inn was silent. Nym was the only person awake. She slipped out the side door to the stables. Nesme snorted when she saw Nym, and pranced excitedly in her pen. Nym brushed Nesme slowly and then readied the saddle and saddle bags before climbing onto the horse.
The sun had just began to peak over the horizon, and Nym smiled, enjoying the early morning warmth, as she made her way toward the eastern gate. The gate was just being opened as Nym arrived, and she waved at the gatekeepers as she went through. Nym nudged Nesme with her ankles and Nesme began to trot down the road.
