Just some woods from what I could tell. [ a shake of his head, running his thumb absently along the outside edge of the cut across his face. ] Could've been the trees of the village, but I don't think so. It wasn't like any back home, either, and then it all just... came to a castletown with white stone walls. I saw Tot, first, before we found the others.

But I'd never been there before, and the place was empty - the streets, anyhow. We saw folks hidin' in their houses, but I don't blame 'em. It took a bit of time for us to realize, but the guards patrolin' the streets were undead, like the ones we saw on Sunday.
