Give them some bread and cheese

From Create Your Own Story

You rummage in your pack and pull out some bread and cheese. "Here, for your trouble."

One of the Elvin takes the bread, sniffs it, then nibbles cautiously. Another bites into the cheese. Their delicate faces scrunch into disgust and they quickly spit the mouthfuls out into the grass.

"Too dry! Tasteless man-food!" the creature scoffs. They throw the rest away into the darkness.

And quite suddenly, they are flying away up into the air, taking armfuls of their caught fish with them, and you are alone once more, and the valley is mercifully quiet.

You sit up against the rocks, meaning to stay awake in case they return, but the sound of the water quickly lulls you to sleep...

The morning air is cool and good for walking. You feel a little stronger than yesterday. Still halfway between sleeping and waking, you feel the presence of your Spirit close nearby. Its form has changed since you left Analland, just as you have changed, but it is still beside you.

You wake and set off down the stream once more. After a few hours, you come across a bridge strung precariously between two boulders and spanning the river. A path leads away form its other side and runs over a small hill.
