"We'll stop here, for a bit," he said. "This clearing is known as the Impenetrable Clearing." The Impenetrable Clearing of Death, actually. It occurred to him that the actual Latin name sounded for the place sounded much fancier. "As the stories go, this part of the Forest was once home to a tribe of warriors. Enemies wiped it out, but the 'curse' of the tribe hangs over the clearing where their councils occurred - no human or creature can enter, and those that attempt to defy the curse and enter, are injured or die mysterious deaths."
"But all of us could enter, and quite easily. What do you think this tells us about this myth?"
See? Why couldn't Mr. Stryker give, like, private tours on the Forbidden Forest? Because that was the only thing that could top BOTH Saylen and Descoteaux, right now.
Yes, yes, this was...pretty awesome, there is no deny.
Especially...er, cursed? Say what? But the awesome Sir Baron was in there,
actually, weren't they all?
'Impenetrable'. Yeah, right.
So, his eyes were on the Baron as he replied, and the hand raised,
"Perhaps it was told to keep people away," he shrugged,
"or, maybe it IS cursed, but nothing happens if you don't believe in the stories." Or whatever.
