When she could finally pull herself out of the water she lay panting for a while before she could look around at her surroundings. She was now lying at the foot of a steep cliff. At its top she could see part of what looked like a keep or castle. On the other side of the river a wide plain stretched out as far as she could see. It was without any vegetation except a dry grass and an occational bush. This made Astra very confused, as there were no such plains anywhere in Aquilaria, and as far as she knew Allaria consisted mainly of forests. The only place she could think of that might look like this was the plains far west of her own homelands, but she had never been there herself so she could not be sure. And could she really have been brought on a journey that took weeks to fulfill while still unconscious?

It was clear that she would have to do some scouting and find out where she was. But first she desperately wanted to wash herself thoroughly of the sewer filth that still stuck to her body and clothes, to thick to have been disolved in the water.

1. Wash of, she deserves it
2. No time for that! She has to move before any pursuers find her!
