A New Guardian
I blink in surprise, {the Matriarch; as in THE MATRIARCH?} Starburst nods his large head slowly, "yes Hunter. She has gone insane from power, though she might also be insane due to advanced age. However I have it on good authority she has turned into...
The First Year
I step out of the Hunter 'house' with an apple in my hand early in the morning, a year after our arrival at Hope Point. {It was a busy year}, I reflect internally. A few months after our arrival a trader group appeared that we had not expected, it...
Night of Tales
The people prepared for the night, the women who cooked the evening meal passed around bowls of stew prepared with the dried meats and vegetables; a tad bit of dried cranberry tossed in for extra flavor. Harriet and the young woman whom the Headman's...
Supply Run
The next morning I wake up to hearing rain still falling, though is has lessened some. I surmised that it might be possible the storm may end this day at some time so we could continue on our way the next morning. Shadow hands me a water skin and a...
Gryphon Aerie
The next morning our group left the little town behind with Lina traveling with us until we reach the land bridge and the gryphon home. On the journey I ask her why her and Terrance decided to remain behind, she had a good reason. "Well, Ma'am Hunter...
Training

The Last Leg
After the obligatory week was done I was allowed to speak again and we were preparing to continue our journey. During the week we had stayed a few of the people kept themselves busy by setting up an 'official' camp. This is a good start and stop point...
Long Term Planning
By the next morning I was already tired of the concept of just sitting still not doing anything. I knew we needed to head to my proposed city, yet unless I wanted to piss off my healer it probably was not a very good idea. While the old saying went...
More Rest
With Calliope's choice of voicing her opinion about the knowledge of the Dragon Hunter's weakness the people decided to treat her even more like something distasteful. When she would attend a meal everyone would turn their backs on her as if she...
More Cultists
Three days of waiting sitting on my back side didn't seem like a bad thing except for the idea that someone built a wooden wall around something in my path to the land bridge to our eventual home. That someone also had armed guards walking the top of...
The Young Mage
While we wait for the filly to wake I remember that we needed to clean off the, grime; from the 'town'. So I ask my guardians, "considering me and Alberich need to clean up after that enjoyable encounter. Is there a stream nearby for us to wash this...
