《Wayfinder》Day 7: Ratcatchers in Belrond
Advertisement
El shows Bandlor how to tend to the cattle, to check the fields for holes, and to repair the perimeter fence. The God is only slightly bored by this routine that El has until reaching the fence. He looks over the damage and turns to El with a grin.
"What? A nail falling out isn't that crazy." El cocks a half-grin and looks down at the hammer and nail in his hand.
"The nails were taken? Most likely being used as swords in the Blood War. Or possibly just some local squabble."
"It's just bent iron right?" El looks down at the nail in his hand.
"Iron in this region is special, right?" Bandlor takes the nail from El.
"It's forged at lower temperatures and its more dull." El explains unsure why he needs to.
"Cold Iron then. Definitely being used by fairies." Bandlor smiles.
"Fairies!" El looks back to the boards he's been repairing for years.
"Fix the damn board. Supply my troop!" Bandlor orders.
"I'm not sure I like the idea of thieves causing this damage." El takes the nail back and fixes the board in the fence.

After training, El feels tired and struggles to breathe. For dinner with Arkin he spends most of it with his head on the table. Bandlor pushed him to his limits for hours. His muscles scream out for relief. Arking suggest he go to Drig's tavern and pay the extra six copper coins for a bath.
El thanks Arkin and his wife for the meal before heading out. He wasn't feeling up to going to the tavern. He never went there. He fetched water from the well filling up a wooden tub in the barn. With a quick scrub before bed he was at the very least clean.
The teen climbs the ladder into the rafters where his platform is. The boy shivers as he settles into bed. A terrible chill drafts in from the hole on the otherside of the roof. He was going to have to fix that before Arkin notices.

Yashima Chronicles
The island nation of Yashima is in chaos. Armies march to war, pitting cousin against cousin in the fight for power. Sword saints hone their craft in battle, growing more deadly even as the tide of muskets flooding the country make the average soldier ever more dangerous. One woman towers over the era. Known as the blood-soaked flower of the battlefield, it is said that to see her is to risk madness. To fight her is to die. Some even say she draws her power from the blood of vanquished foes.

The Princess of Victory
The Crown Princess of Forewood Kingdom, Victoria, was said to be perfect in all the things that she did. Which was an exaggerated rumor, of course. She was hardworking, but she was also mischievous, always looking for a chance to escape her guards and sneaked out to work through unconventional means. When the rebels-turned-kingdom Lirsk breached the peace treaty between them, war broke out. But Lirsk Kingdom was by no means fair, and countless underhanded matters was done in the military compound, pointing to a cause: there was a traitor amongst them. With the ever-wary, wrongly-accused young Major Dev, they tried to uncover the unknown: who was the traitor that caused hundreds of deaths? [Book 1 of the Guardians of Forewood series]

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
