No Time for Lies and Empty Fights


As dawn stirred in the western kingdom, Hector’s fierce eyes fluttered to life. It had been a restless night away from home – a rare time off duty – and even as the delicate light washed through the through forest around him, the warrior’s tireless work-ethic grew impatient.

He had accepted wholly and graciously the Sunshower’s hospitality and spent the evening after the scavenger hunt, mingling with the nation. It was a chance to thoroughly consider the prize he would ask the glaziers to make – it was to be a gift to the God of the Sun when finally he had proven his commitment as a Dragon Soldier enough to revisit the old charcoaled shrine. Already an idea was forming through his mind.

Where have you been...? he probed the fraught bond between he and Veci, chest rumbling with disdain. The Boggart had been particularly mischievous in recent times, and the tawny stallion was growing increasingly tired of his games – especially given that the objects of his interest were often moral citizens of the Throat. The ghost swirled his vaporous form provocatively around his partner’s rigid neck - an aura of innocence, false-naivety, though invisible to anyone else. Been here! he claimed indignantly, but untruthfulness spilled recklessly into Hector’s mind like water off a cliff.

The soldier sighed frustration into the wind. Veci was no canine to be tethered with a leash, nor bird whose feathers could be clipped; he was the wind, a stirring thought, a nightmare in the day. Stay close, please. I will not have you souring relations. The Boggart laughed silently at length and hissed, neverrrrr...

Before searching for the crafters - who had been named by the Queen of the Edge the day before - Hector felt inclined to freshen himself by the small spring he had found in the forest depths, and he set off at a brisk pace, through the trees. It was a small while later before he came upon it (there had been no path to guide him on either occasion), and his parched lips sank eagerly beneath the sweet, chilled water – refreshing, but not beautiful as the blue desert lake. He took his fill, and thrust powerfully a hoof into its bubbling midst so that his face might be bathed and also the sweat cleaned from his breast. There wasn’t nearly enough space to sink his whole frame.

Again that longing to return home began to surface, and after curt snort to rally the Boggart, Hector set off at a dauntless pace towards the meeting ground – because surely there would be folk there, able to help.
