• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Obstinea Mountains Westward Trails

Ch04 ~ A Pilgrimage
  • Any of the Wayfarers could've headed off towards the Abbey to find the Saint they called the Wandering Light. Anyone could be making this long and frankly exhausting trip. But Laura had bumped into Dave to ask him about Greenbough's orchard, and he'd asked if she was going, said 'maybe you could interview a fucking god', and maybe she could. She was the only Wayfarer who wrote for the Gazette, at least so far. So here she was.

    Why couldn't she have turned up as a bird, though...?

    At least Laura had found a walking stick that helped her feel like the trek was easier. And the dry breeze certainly helped with the day's heat. Still, it'd be a long walk. It was too bad that caravans headed over the mountain were so rare, or they could've hitched a ride, maybe.

    She looked over her shoulder at the rest of the party with her. She didn't think she really knew any of them, not yet. Would she know them all that much better by the time their mission was over...?

    How did you make small talk, anyway? Nice weather for it, was the best she could think of. So dull. They were going to see a holy place, weren't they?

    "Never been somewhere like this," she said to herself, quietly. "Never really been religious."
