Re: various places in Razorhawk Village
They leave the Houses of the Sisters. The group walks towards the Village center once more. By now there are many children scampering about, Elven, half elven, Human and a dwarf child or two.
The Yongest of the Sages, who maintain the Totem ,Meet with Kree,Good Hunter. Might you spare a story for the children. They always look to those who return, for some stories to think on, and perhaps...spread among themsleves?
He Pats the Woman on the shoulder, He waves the others on to the Inn if they want, then he sits at the base of the Totem. A small Human girl crawels Up into his lap. And Elven boy stands next to him Holding Kree's bow, as if it came from the gods.
Right then..Let us begin..one story mind you, then i must get some rest...for My comrades and I Hunt tomorrow... the kids ooooohed at that and settled down to listen.
Once...a fsrmer had a small plot of land. that was his own. He would grow crops for the king, as well as himself.. However...there were Orcs, who would raid farms he looked at the children a half smile on his lips,<DarkGreen>So came the time..the Farmer Caught two orcs, the the King's side of the farm...he killed one with his pitchfork, the other he captured...He was going to kill the Orc outright, but thought for a moment..the farmer said..." Go..tell your people to leave my farm alone...or more of you will die..."
The King came the next day, looking over farms, and gatahering crops in his wagons to take to the walled city,where his castle lay,"..Farmer? Your crops are not as full as they should be?"...The Framer frowned, pointing at the dead orc, I killed a raiding orc..another escaped...but thier comrades made off with some of your crops...."
The King Laughed,"...no..my friend..they made off with some of YOUR crops...for my amount must be met, before you take your share...."
The farmer wanted to protest, but the King's men began to harvest crops from both his field and the farmer's field...when they left, the farmer had some crops left in his own field, but he would not be earning extra coin this time, by selling his excess. The Poor farmer was beside himself. He had worked hard...only to be robbed by both the Orcs and the King..."
Two weeks later. The farmer was on his way to a nearby Village, some crops he had that he would sell so his family would have coin for the winter...He came Upon a scene..The same tribe of orcs and attacked a Kings caravan...and they were , even now, taking the King's daughter to sell or use as a slave... The farmer just watched...the orcs took off. levaving the battered guards behind...as the farmer passed the wounded and dying men, the leader of the caravan looked up and said,"...You could have helped saved the princess? You should have charged in and they would have fled!..."
The farmer shook his head, as he looked down at them,"..I had to sell my excess croips, since the orcs and the king robbed me.....My Family needs must be met first, the King's family comes next. Since my family was shown so little thought , by the king? I merely follow his example, and care for mine first..."
...so....You remember this. YOur Clan and your family comes first. And seek not, to hope those of power will aid you. For in the end? only those of Blood...will Care....
At This Ivy Raises his Bow and Gives a Hunting Yell...all the kids , and many of the pople passing By Join in.
Kree stands Up and takes his bow back from the LAd...and proceeds to the Inn.
