of the boar on my shoulders, I pushed open the Tavern door. There were a few groans as an icy blast of air followed me inside.

Looking around I spotted Cerridwen and went to where she sat

"Where would you like me to put this beast?" I asked her. "I'l even quarter it up if ya like." I added with a half grin.

"I would like that." she smiled back and pointed me toward the kitchen.

On my way there I caught the glimpse of a fine looking, tall, youngish woman. Flaming auburn hair adorned her oval face and emerald eyes locked on mine for the slightest moment.

I went on my way thinking I would ask Cerridwen for a basin of water so I could wash off the smell of the hunt.
