Chapter 42

The shadow of Wind Runner floated over the orchards and villages of Autumn Fall, the giant owl knew exactly where they were going. Far in the highlands, near the edge of the perfect harvest hills, lay a small collection of grass huts, with one standing in the middle, decorated with colorful fabrics and amber ties. The Village of the Guardian, Wind Runner's Rest, Gypsy's Place, this patch of land was known by many names, but due to its location high in the Autumn Hills, it was hard to get to on foot, so most men outside of those who lived there had never seen it. Those who had chosen to live beside the Guardian were well protected but survived on the offerings that the rest of the land brought to them.
