Accept Gwenyth as your companion

You blush now, standing naked in the chill night air as this lady knight bows before you. Even now, you feel like a princess in one of those fairy tales you so loved as a little girl. A part of is still not entirely certain of the woman's intentions. After all, she is one of the undead, but if she were truly evil, would she have rescued you from those creatures?

Though you are still unsure, you know that your mission is an extremely dangerous one. Already you have faced your fair share of danger, and you know full well that it will not get any easier. Lady Gwenyth Aurelius, despite her unusual nature, has shown herself to be a capable warrior and appears to genuinely want to help you in your quest. The fact that she is breathtakingly beautiful is but a small bonus.

You look down upon her again, catching Gwenyth as she looks away, and you wonder if she does not also appreciate what she sees before her, "Lady Gwenyth, I would be honored if you would accompany me in my journey."

Gwen looks up at you in surprise and she quickly bows her head to you once more, "The honor is mine, Melena. I swear that I shall protect you, and will do all within my power to ensure that you reach the druids safely."

Another gust of wind blows across your body, making you shiver in the night. Your own clothes have been ruined, torn apart by the creatures in their attempts to slake their unnatural lusts upon you. Luckily, Gwenyth has spare clothes to give you. You dress quickly and the both of you start your journey together.

As you travel through the salt swamps, you and Gwenyth speak at length. You can't help but be curious about what she is, and the Lady Knight is happy to tell you what she can. Though undead, she must periodically drink blood or she will wither away and eventually die. Another apparent difficulty is her inability to travel during the day.

Though fine for you, the life giving rays of the sun would turn Gwen's undead body into ash in a matter of moments. However, you decide that you will just have to travel during night from now on. It has been night for quite a while though, and you decide that the most important thing to do now is find shelter for Gwenyth during the daytime.
