The Tablelands

by Jet556

Gard returns home to the Tablelands. Instead of finding the village he had been born in, he finds a town and in that town an old friend: Lynx-O and finds a new one in Bengali. However, in this town where Evabon, Cat, Lizard and Nomis all live together things might be difficult. It might be too soon for four different races to be living in the same town.

Welcome everyone. This story is just something I wanted to do. Enjoy and review.

Homeward Bound

The Tablelands. It had been here so many centuries ago that Gard had been born. Today he returned. With him were Balor, Zuvowang, Brigid, Dalv, Rotherham, Terag, Asaji and a few other Evabon from the Valley of the Tombs.

As they stood on the edge of this beautiful sight, memories began to flood into Gard's head. Some laughs, some tears, the land was still the same.

There were many herds of athnabs. Gard wondered if any of those herds had once belonged to him.

He then saw the village. The joy in his old eyes vanished. "That's not the village I was born in…"

Balor followed Gard's gaze. He wasn't sure what Gard had been expecting. It had been so long that Gard's village probably didn't exist any more. It must have fallen years ago. "That looks too big to be a village, Gard."

Zuvowang nodded. He just wasn't nodding because he wasn't the smartest. He was nodding because it did indeed look too big to be a village. "Yes, yes… that is a town, not a village…"

Gard sighed and held up a telescope. It was a town. Filled with all sorts of races. Cat, lizard, Evabon, Nomis, it seemed impossible but there was more than one race in that town.

There seemed to be a great many people in the center of town while an Evabon stood before them speaking. At least Gard presumed it was an Evabon, it could have just been a statue being set up.

A smile came to Gard's lips. This was something new to the tablelands. His village was gone but this town was here.

Gard then looked at a house just outside of town. "Lets start there."
