《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.

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!

A MUCH younger version - meaning she now looks like a six-year-old. Willa needs to turn herself back to normal, and quickly. But the woman who cursed her is being a complete witch, insisting that Willa show herself to be kind, generous and unselfish before she'll lift the curse. Kind generous and unselfish... Go on a quest and help a few people. It can't be that hard, right? Wrong. A light-hearted comedic fantasy that will appeal to fans of Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones.
