Harvest Days and Legends
In the redmont fief it was the all celebrated harvest day. The town closest to the castle had come truly alive. It was brimming with activity. Stalls were doing roaring trades, jongleur's were filling everywhere with lively dancing music.
This was where you could find Will. He was walking along leading Alyss to a place, of which she was still uncertain. It was two days before their wedding and all the guests were currently staying in the castle.
'Where are we going, Will?' asked Alyss to her fiancé.
'Somewhere special,' he replied as he stopped to find out where he was.
'Close your eyes,' Will told her.
'Why?' she asked back.
'Because it is going to be a surprise.'
'I trust you to not lead me into any trees. Just remember, I am not as good as you at walking through forests.'
'Thank gosh we are not going through any forests then.'
'That's a clue you just gave me!'
'I know. But I don't think that you can guess where we are going just form that tiny clue.'
'But I can! We are going…' she paused for effect. 'Anywhere but your cabin.'
'Our cabin soon.' Alyss was going to live with Will, going to the castle every odd day to take care of the administration things of life.
'Yes. Our cabin soon. Two days time, soon.'
'We are here! You can open your eyes now.'
Alyss opened her eyes to see the place where all the ward mates spent their first harvest day after entering apprenticeship.
All of her friends where there, laughing and joking around with bright smiles on their faces.
'They're all here! How did you manage that?'
'Well,' Will grinned sheepishly. 'Most of them were already here. All the rest I sent a letter to requesting that they hurry up.'
'Requesting?'Horace exclaimed. 'If that was a request then I am a king.'
'You will be one day, Horace,' Will reminded him.
'Ok. Maybe that did not fit. But still. That was an odd request.'
'I must admit Will. It certainly was an odd request.' Added in Gilan.
'Well you can not blame me. You all made it here. It was really hard to do you know.'
The whole group laughed at this. Hard. Yeah right.
Another story to add to the legends they were becoming.
This time it was one of peace and laughter.
And one of love.
