Chapter Ten: Lydius

 

The Narrative of Kiki

 

We are on the edge of the town of Lydius.  This town is close to the mouth of the Cartius River; the Northern Cartius, not to be confused with the equatorial one.  It’s been a long journey from Ko-Ro-Ba.  Some would see coming this far west as going out of our way, but given the trackless nature of the Northern Forests, the consensus was that keeping close to the coast might be easier and safer than trying to cut directly across from some crossing point further east.  It’s remarkably difficult to keep a straight course through thick woodland.  There’s a tendency to find oneself walking in a circle.  Getting lost in such a manner, not being wise.  If we follow the coast as best we can, we will get to Torvaldsland more surely, though it take longer. It has the added advantage of us being able to resupply at Kassau and Helmutsport.

 53. New Routines

I finally had an opportunity to go to the city guardhouse. Mirus did not accompany me to the lumberyard this morning and after a boring day of wood chiseling, the afternoon was mine.  Atticus took me into a room and told me to wait, that Niketas would be coming soon.  The room was different than the interrogation rooms I had been in, but this still felt as if I was being kept, secured for the moment.  I was tempted to test the door, to see if it was locked, but I didn’t, deciding it didn’t matter at the moment.  It was at least an ahn before Atticus returned with Niketas.

Chapter Nine: The Fork In The Road

 

Narrative of Grunthon

 

Half a day north of Jorts Ferry the track forks.  Cadmus speaks.

“Tharna or Ko-Ro-Ba?  Any preference, Zork, Grunthon, Clystemous?”

Zork comments.

“I trust you Cadmus to find the best route.”

What is he talking about!?  Ko-Ro-Ba was destroyed by the Priest Kings.  ‘No stone may stand on another, No two persons of Ko-Ro-Ba may stand next to one another’.  That is what the Initiate had said when he passed on the news of the city’s doom.  I had loved the city, the place of my upbringing.  I had been granted the honour if kissing the Home-Stone, thus confirming my allegiance to the city.  Even though the Caste of Metal-Workers is not one of the high castes, I had served in one of the city’s Militia, having made my own weapons.  I had left in tears having no clue as to where I would go, what I would do.

Chapter Seven: Torcadino

 

With luck we may arrive at Torcadino tomorrow.  Cadmus worries about how to explain me, how to get the men of Torcadino to let us into the city.  He tells me that we are in need of supplies.  We are.  This close to such a major city, game is scarce.  There are villages where I might take an animal to eat, but the word would soon get around that there’s a great beast, me, loose in Torcadino’s heartland.  We could circle the city, but again there’s the issue of supplies.
