Screaming from the sky

Justin was out in the deep woods tending a string of rabbit traps.  It was some months since he had left his home to come out here to the Eldritch lands, but he was fitting right in, he thought.  And they were teaching him mysteries, magic, metaphysics, and what not....things he didn't think he would be getting from the tutors back in his father's castle.....and they trusted him to deal with the rabbit traps, even at his young age.....but suddenly there came a shrill screaming from the sky, and he looked up to see a lad and a lass falling down as from a great height, with her hanging 'bout his neck, screaming to beat the band.....and with an amount of crashing through boughs and flying pinecones and scattering birds and squirrels, the two folk abruptly reached the forest floor.  "What ho!" he called....."Are ye alright, then?"  He made his way towards their landing spot, and found them dusting themselves off and looking round in somewhat confusion.  "What has happened to you, mi'lord 'n lady?"  Justin asked politely.  "Oh, we had to jump over the mountains to escape evil treatment at the hands of some trolls, is all." replied the young man.
