Village of Obses Today is Wednesday normally I would be at the training center to improve my swordsmanship, but Father has called a meeting which I am required to attend. Normally I would be dreading the meeting, but today I hope for information about my brother. Bryn left two weeks ago for a trade errand for our Father and has yet to return. I am starting to worry.
Today’s meeting isn’t starting until 11 o’clock so I have decided to visit my friend Arian. I head out into the village right after finishing breakfast. I have no choice if I wish to have a reasonable amount of time to speak with her. I live on top of a hill that looks over the whole village. I imagine it was built here because my ancestors wished to send a message of them being …show more content…
I am alerted by the loud ringing of the bell that alerts everyone to the start of the meeting. I walk downstairs and enter the meeting hall. I go up to the large chair that belongs to my father at the end of the meeting table and stand behind it. I watch as everyone files into the room either taking seats or standing at the side of the room. Everyone can come, but only those in favor with my father have a seat. Father as usual is the last to enter the room.
“Welcome everyone,” he announces as he takes his seat.
The whole room starts to applaud.
“In this meeting we are going to go over some development on our neighboring island of Obses. I have just gotten word that the island has been taken over by King Aadi until they pay their dept. They have a deadline of two weeks, and if they don’t pay it he will wipe the village out,” my father announces. “Any questions?” he asks the room.
“What about Bryn?” I can’t stop myself from asking.
My father stood up and turned toward me. I had known when I said it I was making a mistake. I’m supposed to stay quiet during the meetings. “I will worry about that,” he growls. “Meetings over,” he turned toward the rest of the room and said before walking out toward the dining …show more content…
I lost my appetite anyway. I immediately changed into a shirt and some pants. I let down my braid so that it no longer circled my head. I go over to my window pull back the curtains and step onto the window seal. I slowly start to work my way down the side of the house. As soon as I feel my feet hit the ground I start to run as fast as I can manage to the stables.
This isn’t the first time I’ve done something like this which explains why the stable hand is never surprised when I show up asking for a horse. This is what I do when I need to clear my head I ride. I never go farther than the river before I have to turn back though. If I stay out any longer someone will notice i’m missing. That's my plan right now to go to the river to wash my face. When I finally get my horse I immediately jump on and leave.
I am completely taken by surprise when I arrive at the river. When I approach I hear two familiar voices. I get off the horse and look around the brush to the bank of the river. The two people are my father and his friend Alexander talking. It seems my father canceled his
