Astra Gets the Fishermen Out of the Way

There were some people that could not be reasoned with, especially when words could not be used conveniently. So Astra pointed out the land along the river bank, on her side of the bridge, and then crossed. The men backed away and gave her a respectful distance. She then continued on, hoping to avoid populated areas.

Astra did take a look back a few minutes later. The two men had crossed the bridge, had grabbed their fishing poles, and were scratching in the dirt looking for some sign of the treasure. Eventually they would tire of this and perhaps look for shovels. She might have to recross this bridge with some calvary in the future. Would these men still be digging around when that time came?

Astra then continued on. She thought that she was getting closer to home. Within a day at the latest, she thought that she should stumble across one of the neighboring tribes of Aqualaria, if not the Matriarchy itself.

As she continued, she found that

1. there was a series of green, gently sloped hills ahead.
2. ahead was a great plain with little more than tall grass, and she could see for miles in all directions.
3. she was following the river, and it was now clear she would soon see villages. She had some decisions to make. Could she find a villager and get him or her to understand who she was, and maybe some help in getting back to her home?
