I noticed that I am being followed...by what, I have no idea....very interesting though...They are very good...very careful indeed, but obviously not careful enough.

I started noticing something odd late last night. I was sleeping against the base of a tree, my belongings tucked closely beside me, when I heard a sort of whisteling in the distance...I assumed that it was probably just a bird, but I then remembered that it was winter, and all of the birds would not return until another four months or so. So I quietly unsheathed my sword and then pretended to fall asleep...I wasn't bothered the rest of the night though.

This morning, I was quietly walking along a small path that was just off of the main road, headed to the next village to maybe buy some sort of provisions or perhaps a warmer cloak, when I heard a faint crunching sound. It sounded like snow that had been frozen to a fine layer of ice breaking under the weight of some sort of animal...Not very peculiar, except that it was too close to the village to be a large animal, and a smaller one wouldn't be heavy enough. Also, if it was any other normal traveler, they would have chosen to walk on the road, since it is clear of snow and ice. Hmmm....

I'm very curious to meet my follower...maybe I'll give them some advice on stalking others...heh..yes.
