w00t! 36k!
Makin' progress! I'm somewhat irked that my clever way to fill time didn't last longer. I'm already to the part where Flegen is going to attack. Gah. This had better be the most epic battle EVER.
When Jaspa awoke the next morning, it was fairly early. She could tell from the angle of the sunlight in her room that it was early enough that breakfast would still be available in the dining hall.
Myertek, wake up! She got up and dressed quickly, pulling on her regular working robes, which were dusty brown, and then washing her face before putting her warm winter cloak over the top. She slipped her arms through the arm holes and picked myertek up, then went out to breakfast.
The dining hall was nearly empty, so Jaspa was able to dart into the kitchens and grab a pasty and a couple of old apples for later, which she shoved into her hip pouch.
It was a bright, clear morning, chilly but not windy, and Jaspa decided to go up on the walls before going over to the library. She darted up the stairs. Myertek launched himself off her shoulders to take advantage of the opportunity to fly a bit. Jaspa leaned on the wall as she munched on her pasty, which was stuffed with unidentifiable meats.
Jaspa, look at this, Myertek said, and sent her what he was seeing. He was high up in the air, and could see what looked like a large group of men approaching from the West.
Jaspa gaped. We have to tell Master Kalishk! She jamed the rest of the pasty in her mouth and ran as fast as she could toward the library. She blew through the doors, Myertek barely landing on her shoulder in time, and she took the stairs two and three at a time, ignoring Myertek's claws digging into her shoulder. Kalishk was at his desk, looking a bit groggy.
"Master Kalishk! they are coming!"
Everyone in the library stopped and stared at her.
"What?" he asked softly.
"Myertek saw Flegen's army. It has to be him, who else could it be? they are coming from the west, they are only an hour or two away, I think!"
