《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.

Shades of the Moon
I'm rewriting this story! I have taken down Arc 2 and Arc 3 already to avoid spoiling my new novel. The only reason I'm keeping the first 10 chapters is nostalgia; the writing is awkward and the story is not plotted out properly, but it's here if anyone wants to compare it to the new one. If you'd like to read a more professionally written version of this story, I highly suggest checking out my Synergy. Synopsis version too-many-to-count: “I see,” Kiona said. “But . . . you’re changing once again, aren’t you?” The entity considered her question, lifting a clawed hand towards the night sky. They observed the back of their hand idly, watching the glowing orange veins pulse alongside their pitch-black exoskeleton. The wind picked up right then, and Kiona shivered—just as much from the cold as from the savage grin on the creature's face. “That’s right,” the entity said, clenching their hand slowly into a fist. They let out a quiet laugh, staring defiantly at the Moon as it rose from behind the clouds. “We are shades, yet not exactly. Not like the others. Here, in this world, we've become something more. We are the Shades of the Moon.” There was a heartbeat of silence, during which Kiona joined the entity in their skygazing. The light-green Moon loomed over the city, shining like the entity's eyes. It promised otherworldly knowledge and terrible secrets. It promised progress. It promised change. In that moment, Kiona couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful. “Shades of the Moon, huh?” she said, smiling a bit. It had a nice ring to it.
