[QUOTE="hafrogman, post: 4945436, member: 8858"] [b]Atrius - Crucible Challenge II[/b] We didn't often go to the hunting lodge when the master traveled there. House slaves like my mother would stay behind to mind the City estate while he was away, and to prepare things for his return. But the Master's sister was visiting, and had chosen a few of the servants to accompany her personal retinue for the trip. I was still too young to be assigned regular duties, so I was to accompany my mother. I had finished helping my mother with some light work, and another boy, Tobias, and I were set loose for the day, with our only instructions being to not bother the master and his family, and not to get in the way. It was a bright, clear day towards the end of summer. The lodge was high in the mountains, clear of the summer heat that still pervaded the city. Tobias and I eagerly went out, exploring the grounds around the lodge, running and playing as boys do. Only a few weeks had passed since the minstrel's last visit, and we regaled each other with our favorite parts as we wandered through the woods. Even though we both remembered the tales perfectly well, we still listened with contentment at the superfluous retellings. We recreated our favorite scenes weilding sticks as weapons and chasing each other around trees and rocks in our epic duels. I found myself standing ontop of a rocky outcropping, looking out over the lands below, catching my breath in the cool mountain air as I stood victorious over my "slain" companion. I helped him to his feet and we both stared out at the view for a while, with the sun setting behind us, and then we returned to the lodge. The next day found us both busy until well after night fell, and then it came time for my return to the city. But that one day of shared glory, both imagined and real, still hangs in my memory.
