STORY
The day had been like any
other at WindChill. Alan had established an easy routine over the past
months of work and leisure. He was friendly to the other humans, fae and
draks but had not gotten too close to them. No-one really knew him. But
none pushed since he wasn't offering. Alan himself sometimes wondered if
some of the others were worth befriending. He'd been a part of plenty of
communities and -without bragging- had a good idea of what made people
tick. Which is why he'd stayed as long as he had. This place was pretty
open and accepting and the leaders were neither too trusting nor too
strict. Freedom and responsibility were given to those who had earned it
and both rewards and punishments were well balanced. Not that Alan had had
experience with either. He'd mostly kept below radar.
Which is why it was strange to arrive at his quarters and find a summons
there. Apparently Sunspark Reflection, WindChill's leader, had some
business with him and he was asked to come to the central buildings that
were used as gathering places. Outside he encountered
Impressionante, one of the
draks who also lived in the settlement. They greeted each other
and waited a few moments until Sunspark invited them inside. The
meeting room felt calm and understated. Pale silver walls were accented by
jeweltone sheer curtains that held just a hint of sparkle. Indirect
lighting gave the place a more magical feel. High ceilings and the broad
walkway meant that Alan felt small and humble, even if he knew it was a
necessity to accomodate the draks. A large wooden table stood at one end of the room and
comfortable chairs stood around it, waiting to be used. Refreshments were
on the table and Moonbeam, who was Sunsparkle Reflection's significant
other, gave them a smile and a small nod before she exited.
"Thank you for coming." Sunsparkle greeted them.
"Greetings." Alan said.
"It's always good to see you." Impressionante
said.
Sunsparkle told them of his plans to grow the community and to create ties
to the other fae-drak settlement called Icehearth. WindChill would not be
set up as a Castle in the traditional sense of the word. It could not
easily be reached but they would at one point need others to help support
the settlement. They could not delude themselves that remaining
self-sustainable was a possibility. Sunsparkle ended his proposal with:
"So what are your thoughts?"
"I can understand a hunter being sent out to
something called a Wyld Hunt, but why me?" Impressionante asked.
To Alan this seemed like a redundant question. He might be a hunter but he
had no experience hunting draks. They were far smarter than game and would
be less agitated than criminals. Besides, they could fly so all his
racking skills might amount to nothing anyway. So he answered:
"Well, we're hunting draks, who would better
understand them than one of their own?"
The Dawn drak seemed to consider her choices for a while. Alan himself did
the same. He had not intended to leave WindChill just yet, but then he
would probably return later. And being sent as an envoy to Icehearth might
give him some extra weight in the long run if he ever decided to stay
there.
"Will you go?" Sunspark asked.
Alan figured there were no disadvantages to accepting so he nodded.
