Kicking a Hornets’ Nest
If necessity was the mother of all invention, and made for strange
bedfellows, Yan Jie mused that her travelling companions’ tangled mess
of needs had adopted a redheaded stepsister. As she crept through the tall
grass around the north side of the towering mounds, she signaled toward her
new ally on the south.
Arrow nocked, Alaena Vardamcar gave a nod which sent her fiery copper
curls spilling from the hood of her brown cloak. Jie had rescued the ranger a
couple of weeks before in a port city, and they happened to be travelling in
the same direction. As the princess of Serikoth and the adopted heir of
Korynth, Alaena was certainly a strange bedfellow, definitely redheaded;
and as convoluted as her family tree was, probably someone’s stepsister.
Whatever her particular need was for travelling to the city of Arkos, it
remained a mystery. She disappeared around one of the mounds toward the
flank of the enemy camp.
Jie would’ve taken the other flank, but that was for the unimaginative. She
looked up the slope of the mound. The seventy-five-degree incline might
prove too steep for most, but not for a half-elf trained in Black Lotus ways.
It looked like a giant wasps’ nest, with a striated texture that provided
purchase for her fingers and toes. She worked her way up to the top, some
sixty feet up, and peeked over the crest.
Eight identical mounds formed a perfect circle. Past them lay farmland with
tall green stalks waving in a westerly breeze, bordering the Inland Sea’s
coastline along the north. Beyond stood what looked to be the ruins of a
small pyramid, its shaded side making it impossible to discern its color.
Even further, a mountain loomed above an island off the coast.
Something glinted at its summit. In its shadow lay the city of Lorium,
where they’d charter a galley ride to Arkos. Once an ancient capital, ruled
by an immortal Runemaster who accidentally sundered his own empire and
the world with fell magic, it now lay in the heart of the Teleri Empire. It
was there Jie would likely find more clues surrounding a mysterious clan
traitor.
First, they’d have to get by this possible obstacle. Down below, in the circle
formed by the mounds, seven enormous Bovyans sat around a campfire
laughing and eating. One turned a goat on a spit, the scent of char and
roasting meat wafting up through the air. An eighth stood at the west end of
the mounds.
They smelled ripe enough to make a week-old sourberry jealous. Their
chainmail looked dull and rusted, and dirt and blood stained their tunics.
They all bore daggers, as well as arming swords that were large enough to
be two-handers in the hands of a normal human. Among the eight of them,
their only other weapons were two polearms, each with a head shaped to
cut, hook, or stab. From the sound of boots on hard-packed dirt, two more
of the brutes were circling the perimeter. Ten Bovyans in total.
