《Wayfinder》Day 22: Ratcatchers in Belrond
Advertisement
El wakes up to being jostled and shaken. His eyes pop open as he stares at the purple scaled kobolds wide with fear. The kobold puts a finger to his lips letting El know to be quiet and to wait. In the distance, a Rooster crows. Kib looks in the direction of the sound as his tail swishes defensively.
“That’s a Rooster.” El states blinking away the drowziness that still clung to him
“Shut up! You want it to hear us?” Kib hisses.
“You know what. Let’s go see it.” El hops off his bed.
“What? No! I can’t.” Kib shrinks into himself.
“Nope, go down the ladder.” El guides him down.
The two leave the barn. El grabs a bag of grain before they walk into the village. They head to the side of the first house closest to Arkin’s. They approach a penned-in area, El walks behind Kib, loops his arms under his shoulders raising him up, and places him inside the pen without a second thought.
“Hey wait, what are you… AGHHHHH!!!” Kib turns and grabs at the top of the fence with his claws beginning to pull himself back out.
“Whoa, hey, they're just chickens,” El says calmly as dozens of chickens strut about, bobbing their heads, looking at the kobold.
“What are chickens!?” Kib hangs onto the top of the fence glaring at El.
“Basically what you are to dragons; they are to Rocs.” El reaches over and pats the head of a chicken.
“Hmmm.” Kib distrustfully and hesitantly lets himself back down in the middle of a swarm of chickens.
“Hold out your hands.” El asks Kib.
The kobold does so and the field hand pours some grain into his hands and then in a circle around him. The chickens swarm and a few peck grain out of his open palms. Kib laughs and looks over at El. The field hands rests against the fence with his drowsy eyes half closed and a listless smile plastered on his face.

They don’t spend much more time there before Kib heads to his mine and El heads back to Arkin’s farm.

Kib’s mine feels more lively with the inclusion of the halfling laborers helping him. They chat, laugh, and even drink some while they work. The kobold appreciates the company and works hard to lead the group of miners before El shows up after his work is done.

After a quick skirmish El retires to the barn and Kib retires to the mine. Kib rolls around in his flower blanket, quickly becoming a kobold burrito.
El enjoys dinner with Arkin and Helen, but by the end of the meal, the two have seen him wince enough times to know something is up. El shows the wounds he is healing from.
Arkin proceeds to scold the field hand while Helen changes his bandages. After enduring the encounter, El retreats to his barn and lays down in his bed. Sleep quickly overtakes him.

Still, after eons untold, its final crossing shall take place in blood-soaked lands, driving fear into the hearts of its inhabitants.

He also remembers being stabbed by a twelve foot monstrosity as it picked him up with its sharpened blade of a hand, relishing his stunned expression and the soon to be blossoming of pain as it brought him closer to its putrid mouth. And yet, here he stood in a silent battlefield littered with bodies for acres of land. What the hell was he supposed to do now? And equally important, what the hell was he supposed to do with this orb of golden light?!
