The morning sun
swept up over the young green treetops of the misty woods. As it did, six
humanoid figures emerged from the trees, each wearing a hooded cloak. They were
greeted by their tired comrades and worried families. One particularly bulky
individual was pulled into a bear hug by a shorter, but no less bulky warrior.
Another of the figures was tackled by two small bundles of energy. While the
other three were received with a comparable treatment, one resting a bow against
his shoulder slipped away to the south end of the liberator camp.
At the edge of
the camp, set apart from the closer gypsy tents was a vardo wagon with several
ayrshire cows grazing beside it. Alongside the wagon was an adjoined canvas
tent branching to the east. The polished wood of the roof began to gleam in the
emerging sunlight when the archer entered into his tent-wagon home. He heard
the gentle breathing of his ward behind a curtain of canvass. He removed his
cloak and boots as quietly as he could and lowered his youthful, but tired body
onto his bed. A bed that was made of twisted straw and lavender, which belonged
to Claude Pythian.
Awesome job of describing the scene, I have a vivid picture in my head.
