《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.

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.
