*As his wagon seemed to seek out every bump and hole on the road, more of a trail than a road if the truth was known, Throreth wondered if his decision to leave the farm and resume this life was really the best decision that he could have made.*
The garden was finally how we had envisioned it and I am sure this year I could convince the dwarven merchants to bring us the stones we wanted for the basement…
*Stopping himself before his thoughts went any further, Throreth knew such thoughts were counterproductive to both his task on hand, as well as his sanity in general.*
The gods never promised life would be easy and you both knew what the eventual outcome would be, especially once you quit focusing on your magic full time...
*A deep rut brought Throreth back to the present and after stopping to make sure the wheel was not damaged, nor the axle snapped, he turned and looked ahead and saw a narrow rope bridge about a hundred yards ahead of him. Walking in front of the horses, Throreth rubbed each of their muzzles as he spoke to them.*
"It seems that we have almost reached our destination friends, but I not know how I will get you both across. For once I think we will literally have to cross this bridge to find the answer. Who would have thought a human phrase would be true?"
*Closing the distance to the gate quickly, walking in front of his wagon with the horses, Throreth looked across the narrow bridge but trusted it would not still be in use if it could not serve its function.*
There is no logic in having an entrance that doesn't work...
*Lashing the horses to the railing, Throreth dusted himself off as best he could and quickly crossed the bridge, halting as a stern looking guard raised his hand towards him.*
