It was raining lightly, and the air was a little cool for spring, even in everfrozen Norghana. The rain was falling on Lasgol’s hooded cloak. As Trotter
bore him on, he was thinking about the mission he had been given, without
paying too much attention to the raindrops striking the ground around him.
He was wondering whether it would turn out to be a complicated mission, a
dangerous one. In fact, they all were, one way or another, so in the end he
decided not to go on thinking about it and to focus on reaching his destination
and solving the problem quickly and efficiently. That was what the Path of
the Ranger taught, and that was how he always tried to carry out the missions
he was given.
He pointed ahead. “Keep going, old friend, follow the road to the top of
that little hill ahead,” he told his faithful pony. Trotter snorted and moved his
head up and down. He was soaking wet, but unlike Lasgol, he seemed to be
finding the rain a nuisance.
Looking at the overcast sky, he could see that it was already beginning to
clear and that the rain would soon stop. He was looking forward to the warm
spring sun he liked so much, and he was sure Trotter was going to be equally
happy. As for the missions, he was already expecting that the ones he would
be given in his daily routine would be risky, because otherwise they would
not be missions appropriate to a Ranger. Since the end of the civil war three
seasons before, all the surviving Rangers had been kept extremely busy, and
the missions were coming one after the other, non-stop. The kingdom needed
them, and they were all committed to helping. The first of those missions had
all concentrated on reconstructing and re-supplying the areas most badly-hit
by the war. Through nearly two seasons, they had worked hard to try to bring
back some prosperity to the realm. After this had come missions to help the
population, in particular the farmers and peasants in small rural areas who
were suffering the attacks of bandits, deserters and others of the kind who
were taking advantage of the chaos caused by the war. Unfortunately, the
proliferation of these human scum, who attacked the weakest in search of
easy pickings, or simply out of evil amusement, was always one of the direct
consequences of a war.
Lasgol sighed. He was tired after carrying out non-stop missions for
weeks, although on the other hand he felt happy and – at least to some extent
– pleased. He was helping Norghana and its people, and that was what really
mattered. It was one of the main reasons why he had become a Ranger.
Helping to defend the realm, cleansing it of bandits and evildoers, filled him
with pride and satisfaction, and that in turn made it more bearable. Nor was
he alone. None of the Rangers had had time to rest, or even to be able to sit
down and think about the war and the consequences of it which they were
now suffering, like all the citizens of the Kingdom of Norghana.
