Challenger opened his eyes. Challenger instantly realized, that he had probably been unconscious, as the exhaustion from planar travel together with all the injuries he had taken were too much for Challenger. Challenger didn’t remember where he had appeared when he had arrived to Faerun, but now he was lying in a simple but comfortable bed, which in turn stood in the corner of a room with oaken walls, with a couple of windows in them. Challenger’s body still ached, but not as badly as before. Challenger can also hear more or less distant sounds of something like waterfall.

In the chair near the bed sits a human woman. According to all Challenger knows about humans, he suspects, that she is very very young, most likely barely reached her adulthood. She is very attractive and has beautiful chestnut brown hair, even though she has a bit strange yellow eyes, and her tanned skin is covered by tiger-like stripes. Her only clothes are green tunic and short green pants. As she is currently sitting, Challenger couldn’t determine her height correctly, but he has a feeling that she is at least as tall as he is.

”Oh, you’re awake, good sir, thank Moonmaiden!” said the young human woman ”Are you alright now, good sir?”

"Better than I was earlier, Thank you." Challenger said as he pushed himself up to a sitting possition.
"My names Challenger, may I ask yours?"

The human woman blushed slightly, and averted her eyes. Challenger immediately saw a reason for that, as he was completely naked under the light blanked, with which he had been covered before he had pushed himself up to a sitting possition. Challenger also noticed, that both arrows were pulled out of his body and that all his wounds were healed, even though some pain and weakness still remained.
"I am Myu" said the human girl "You clothes and gear are in the chest near the bed. I washed your clothes and they are dry by now, but I couldn't really do the same for your armor and weapons."

"Sorry." Challenger said slightly blushing as he hurriedly gathered up the blanket and wrapped it arround himself folding it at the back in such a way that it held itself up.
"I guess I owe you my thanks again. Where are we?" he asked

"High Forest, that rings a bell oh yes not far south of Silverymoon not far east of Waterdeep." He grimised suddenly.
"If memory serves theres still a Elven community in these woods, is that still the case?"

"Oh, I am sorry to disappoint you, but even if there is an elven community in the High Forest, I am not really aware about it." said Myu "In fact, father choose this place because it is rather isolated... well, and also because it is very beautiful too, even though I guess it can be a bit noisy for somebody who isn't accustomed to having a waterfall nearby."

Challenger breathed a sigh of relief. "Its ok I'm not disappointed."
"Seems a nice place you've got here." Challenger said quickly changing the subject. "How long have you lived here?"

"Thank you, Challenger." said Myu, then added with a sigh "Truth to tell, I have lived in the High Forest for all my eighteen years, my whole life... Well, except that father took me to the Waterdeep a couple of times, and mother took me to the Temple of Selune even more often, but other then that, I have spent my whole life in the High Forest."

"I can think of worse places to live." Challenger commented. "Do you mind if I just get dressed?"

"Oh, of course, I am so sorry!" said Myu standing up, Challenger couldn't help but notice, that she moved with cat-like grace "I'll go and cook something for breakfast. It will take half an hour or so to be finished, so please, feel free to look around until then."
After saying so, Myu exited the room, moving both quickly and gracefully, and closed the door behind her, leaving Challenger alone.

Challenger quickly retrieved his clothes and belonging strapping on his weapons methodicaly checking that everything was in its place. He probably wouldn't have need of them here but his suvival had often depended on being ready for unprobable events.
If he finds nothing amise he will follow Myu out of the room.

Challenger found all his belonges in place, although Challenger was a bit surprised to find out, that his clothes and armor were completely undamaged, even though Challenger had expected to see holes from the arrows in them. Speaking about arrows, Challenger has located a couple of extra arrows among his gear, probably the same ones he was shot with. In case with Challenger's clothes are are also clear and dry now.
