Continued from: <a href="https://achast.deviantart.com/art/Lost-in-the-Woods-176813434?q=sort%3Atime+gallery%3Aachast&amp;qo=1">[link]</a><br />I had to get creative here, as the last vote was a tie, half for staying and waiting, half for going to look for the elf. (hopefully the next vote won't end up the same way. <br /><br />I decided to try and combine both and to take the story in a new direction from what I had planned. <br /><br />For example, had the vote been to stay and wait, those riders would have managed to capture Katja, whereas had she gone to look for Thrycia, she would have found a group off bandits gaurding the captured elf led by a witch, who would have spotted Katja and captured her with magic. <br /><br />As is, none of those happened, maybe thrycia's still been captured by bandits, maybe she's been abducted by wood elves. All bets are off as far as the story goes.<br /><br />Once again, I'll keep polls open for a week, which would be September 12th, when I'll start on the next part.<br /><br />EDIT: The Polls are closed and I seems you've decided to try your luck with the house. I should have the next part written and up in two or three days and you can find out whether you've chosen wisely or not... <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!"/>
