In Search of Familiar Faces

In town, Gard, Zuvowang and Dalv stood next to a broken fountain. In the middle of the fountain was a statue that was beyond broken. The statue was devasted. No one could even tell what the statue had been.

Gard sighed. "Right, I'm going to see if I can notice any familiar faces. Dalv, go do something. Zuvowang… stay here."

Gard started to walk away when Zuvowang grabbed him by the arm. "What do you mean stay here?"

Gard rolled his eyes. "You killed your music teacher."

"He hit me first!"

"You defiled a woman."

"She wanted to!"

"You killed three of your sons."

"In self defense! And I thought they were demons! And I was drunk!"

Gard shook his head. He sat Zuvowang down and pointed a finger at Zuvowang. "Stay here. Don't kill anyone. Don't defile anyone. Don't drink the water in this fountain." And with that Gard left and so did Dalv to go do something.

Zuvowang shook a fist at Gard as he walked away. He then looked at the water. He could take a drink from the water in this fountain if he wanted to. Zuvowang put his hands in the water and scooped out some muddy water. Actually, it was more mud than water. Zuvowang let out a sigh and wiped his hands on his trousers. So what if they'd be muddy?

Then it dawned on Zuvowang that he had no idea where Brigid was. Where was she?
