Z'leyra will also keep glancing around as well as following the tracks. 
Occasionally she will ask the eagle to fly up to get a quick scouting 
from above.

What led me to leave my home and become a wanderer?
The answer to that is both long and complex. Very well, the story will 
help pass the time.

    "My father was a notable Ticasi metalsmith, son and apprentice to 
the metalsmith represented on the Council of Scholars. He traveled to 
the Kameran in hopes of learning Kameri metalsmithing secrets. He 
convinced a young shaman to let him stay and study. They married. Had 
children. Her oldest children became shamans. She died.
    My father had to leave and could only take one of the children. I 
was that one. Back in Ticasi we found the family fortunes had changed 
for the worse. My grandfather was dead, the position on the Council of 
Scholars taken by a man with a ruthless family that I believe sabotaged 
my father's attempts to regain grandfather's position. Meanwhile I 
studied healing and magic at the Great Library. I also became friends 
with Varange, a Faerry Sidh Magician who spent time in Ticasi as a 
diplomat and scholar.
    My father died in a fire...again I have suspicions. My house was 
gone. I was tired of missing the wilds. I had been studying for so long 
I needed a break. A request to deliver an item as a dying request gave 
me impetus to leave. So I traveled to Malnon.
    Once at Malnon I made the delivery and received a message from 
Varange requesting help. So I tracked Varange down and met the other 
members of the party. During my travels I have had a number of excitings 
instances filled with risk and danger...but those I shall leave for 
other times to tell."
