Ambushed

Elesbog forest.

It was a relative large woodland that was shared by three nations- two of them being Aurgoth and Darkshore. There was nothing noteworthy about this forest except the Tistan River that flowed past it.

Tistan was one of the largest rivers in the continent- flowing through all of the four major nations of the Confederation. 

An emerald green carriage embroidered with wreaths and waving the insignia of the Royal family of Nemphis was wheeling through the bumpy roads of the forest.

The old coachman had his brows furrowed. He had been ordered by the Royal Advisor to drive through the rutted and hazardous forest roads when there was a grand highway that connected Aurgoth to its next destination- Darkshore.

Moreover, the young sir of his also advised to main utmost caution. Though, as the 'bodyguard' assigned by the High King- he was always cautious of his surroundings, he decided to take the warning of Adrian seriously.
