Solo Warrior 8: Mundane delays...

Bungleau · 09-15-2002, 10:49 PM

Back to Chapter 7 - - - Back to the Beginning

As Missy Hissy girded up her sword and looked out into the Gael Serran, it was black as pitch, and the heavens poured down thundering rain, turning creeks into swollen streams that threatened to break their borders.

Gazing around, she could tell that the gods were not pleased these days, and that, as her father used to say, the mundane was the source of the profane. Some of the rumbling in the heavens sounded like words one might hear on the back docks of Brimloch Roon, where the weary sailors would head to relax after a harrowing voyage at sea, and where they might relax too much, waking in the morning with a throbbing head, a nice view of the docks from the local gaol, and no memory of how either happened.

Pulling her cloak close to her, she muttered a prayer of penitence, swearing fealty to whatever god would clear the perpetual night and let her resume adventuring. Soon, perhaps in several days, she'd be able to return to Shurugeon Castle. For now, in the midst of the torrential downpour, even the slight moat was deep as a lake, and the meager drawbridge was a tiny stick in the briny water, floating in the currents.

And the stars looked down...

On to Chapter 9

'Twas so short because it was my long-winded way of saying it will be a few days before Missy gets back into action. Between the misadventures involved in trying to install the new sound card and being on the road for work, I won't -- er, Missy won't be able to get out of that cave until Wednesday at the earliest.

Once I get back, though, I'll be able to relate the story of her brief visit to the stout mines, her encounter with Erathsmedor, and her discovery that just when you think you're done, there's another one around the corner. Stay tuned...

I sure hope it stops raining on Missy soon!

Hopefully tonight... I started an update, but didn't have time to finish it. Perhaps two more updates, and then *singing* I'm on the road again...
