Written for Primeval_100, Challenge 8 : The Forest of Dean

It was dark under the trees.  Ancient, tangled roots thrust down through red soil. Soil the colour of the iron that men had spent so long hacking out of the rock. Blood-metal, some called it. It was a good name.  This place had seen blood spilt in the past and it would see it spilt again soon.

The woman leant against the bole of an ancient yew, lost in thought. Why here? she wondered. Why so many?

They thought she knew. But they were wrong. She had some answers but not all of them. Not ones that mattered. Not yet.

I'm a bit dubious about starting that tonight, (well, starting the bit that says part 1 anyhoo *g*) I have things I need to do and if I start I have a feeling I'll have to read it all... *vbg*

You won't finish DC in one sitting, hon, it's 52,000 words!

But you can limit yourself just to Part 1. There's smut in it.

LOL I can try...
But no, I have to get up in the morning, so I don't really need to be staying up 'til 4 or whatever trying to read it all *vbg*
Oooh smut! I shall use all my self restraint (not very much) to just read Part 1, hopefully.
