《Wayfinder》Day 3: Ratcatchers in Belrond
Advertisement
El heads out of the barn the next day to go to the fields. Arkin catches him and tosses him an apple to eat.
"Don't work too hard," Arkin calls out.
"Four years and now you tell me I can take it easy?" El questions teasingly.
The teen smiles as he walks out to the fields. He needs to keep earning and keep saving. Hopefully one day he can buy a real set of armor and a weapon. Though he needs the training to use them.

One of the other field hands reports to Arkin that there are some holes in one of the fields. He found the remains of a rat. Arkin is sure it's a snake den.
El heads out to the field, digs up the holes, revealing two snakes. He easily dispatches them with his shovel.

El spends the night with Arkin looking over the Mill’s repairs.
"Tomorrow you can start taking care of the cattle instead of harvesting Rye. The others need to catch up to all the work you've done." Arkin says.
"Watch the cattle? Aren't they on the other side of the village?" El asks.
"No, the yield over there wasn't as good. They need to move over here where the ground is more fertile." Arkin answers.
"Alright. I can help out with the cattle."
"I know you can son. It's why I keep you around." Arkin grins.
"I thought I was here because of my dashing good looks." El pushes Arkin's shoulder lightly.
"Don't pick on me. I'm old." Arkin shoves El.
"You can't pull the old card. The halflings say you're a quarter elf." El fires back at him.
"They smoke too much!" Arkin yells.
El and Arkin maintain eye contact for a second before the farmer's lip quivers. They both burst out in laughter. The two walk back to the farmhouse to enjoy some dinner before El retires to the barn for the night.

Dark Lands: The Exile and the Prince
A short time has passed since the siege on Ruined Home has been lifted and as the survivors of the battered encampment slowly begin to rebuild their new home, Aurelius has returned from a failed troll hunt. Yet despite the battered prince’s failures, he has set into motion a series of events that will forever change his life. Meanwhile, Iskra has found herself at the helm of a far more favorable position and begins to forge a path that will lead her towards the first steps of a long road of revenge. Author’s Note: This is the direct sequel to the first Dark Lands story and as time goes on I will update the synopsis to help bring further detail about the story. For now however, I hope you all enjoy what is about to be written. Eight Years Arc: Eight Years have passed since Aurelius and Iskra have first met one another, and a lot has changed since then. The vast majority of Aurelius’ family has been slaughtered by the hands of none other than his oldest brother, a man that the golden haired prince had spent the past several years to hunt down and kill all in the name of vengeance. Upon his return, the kin-slaying prince has found that some things have changed during his absence. Iskra, his first wife and love of his life, has proclaimed that she no longer cares about the events that have been unfolding in her former homeland for the last several years and states that she is solely focused on raising her children. Yet it is through learning that the High Elves have taken a keen interest in the once magically-absent lands of Ranislava that Aurelius decides that action must be taken and thus he journeys south to learn more about what his distant kin are up to in such a backwater region of the world. Who he will meet and what he will do will turn the tides of fate, but in whose favor is something that only the Gods will know. (The Eight Years arc is something that was designed to be written in a way where people don't have to feel the need to go back to the very beginning of the Dark Lands story in order to know what is going on or who the characters are.)
