365 Days of Prompts: Day One

[jeriendhal]

And so it begins. One down, 364 to go.

Note: I've received seven prompts, all of which are written at this point. I'm going to need a lot more to reach the end of 2013. Please click on the original prompt call and let me know what I should write next.

For rix_scaedu. "An unexpected visit."

Maria blinked, as Tez stood up from their afternoon luncheon, as the murderous expression on his face was suddenly masked by polite courtesy, as an elf clad in gleaming white was led towards them by a manor servant.

"Rider Avanar," he greeted. "How did you find me?"

Avanar bowed deeply. "Eldest, you were not difficult to locate. The Death Worshipers have been in considerable disarray since your... owner's... recent miracle became known."

"And what do you want now?"

"I have been ordered by the Council to free you from your vile enslavement." He drew his sword. "By whatever means necessary."

Did the Council think to ask whether he needs to be freed?

Extremely unlikely, given their past behavior. Sending Avanar to scout the situation was just the icing on the train wreck.

[rix_scaedu]

Let me guess, they think they define 'vile enslavement.'

[jeriendhal.livejournal.com]

Well, any elf enslaved is automatically vile. Other races they themselves enslave obviously deserve it, being Not Elves after all.

Hmm. Come to think of it, reacting to the Eldest being enslaved by sending out just one Rider is a pretty moderate reaction, all things considered.

[rix_scaedu]

One that they can see right now.
