Saying goodbye to Maude every morn was the saddest point of Tilneys days now. The patriarch was the happiest he had ever been, but sadly he could not take his daughter to the greenhouse and gardens every day and especially not outside the borders. He was quite convinced she would remain here at the edge until she was at least two years of age - before that she would only leave under supervised, specially planned visits. Any child of his would be protected at all costs, and what a better place to raise one then at the World's Edge. Apart from the threat the cliffs posed there was not much else in the way of danger. In the Basin it would be easy for any young one to freeze to death, to succumb to a fever. In the Dragons Throat one could die of exhaustion or sun stroke, and Tilney wondered how many babes had been caught in the rapids of the Hidden Falls and swept off the rocks never to be seen again? The Worlds Edge was quite ideal, provided the children were kept well away from the cliffs. Crime was also not much of a factor in the Edge. Tilney had remembered seeing so many fierce warrior during his time at the Throat - he could only imagine how many brawls would break out between them. Some seemed to display almost savage characteristics compared to the manners commonly observed up north. When it came down to it Tilney was incredibly happy; Comfortable in his own skin finally, happy with the friends he had, he had a beautiful family and he loved his herd dearly. He was yet to encounter any issues, and he had been here over a year - or was it two? The flaxen man had left his tree for the day and headed to the greenhouse now. Anticipating he would be finished at the garden early today he left his lantern hanging on a branch outside his homely hollow. The young father had promised little Maude he would take her to watch the sunset from a point on the cliffs they called the "special spot" - he would make sure he was done at 'work' as soon as was possible! |
