Chapter Six

The Wanderer is Put in a Pen.

Space...

Fayt was too tired to go on! Why couldn't Lissa have taken them somewhere nice first! Like… a place with chairs, or soft grass, or really anything other than more walking? The 'home' of the Shepherds was just outside the city a ways. The walk seemed easy enough for Lissa and Robin. Fayt was too prideful to actually say he felt like his feet would fall off if he kept going. Let a girl years younger than him outlast him? No chance in hell.

The place was rather large for a simple operation like this… he supposed. Again, what would he know or REMEMBER of such things? The wall encircling the compound was seven foot tall and two foot thick. The fancy brickwork as well as the interior yard made him think this had actually once been someone's residence. There off to the right was a rather large stable's. Sully's horse was there already.

To the left was a large building that had smoke pouring from a chimney top… the distinct smell of roasting meat that wasn't bear was everywhere. That was probably the kitchen, dining hall… and who knew what else area. Lissa was leading he and Robin into the largest structure; an enormous three story mansion like building with decorative windows. Hell, the double doors to the place were taller than he was, and made of some solid looking darkwood. Lissa easily pushed one open and motioned for them to continue following her. The first thing Fayt noted, was the LONG hallway that lead to yet another set of double doors identical to the ones they'd just passed through.

Door after door, fancy painting, tapestry, and other decoration they passed by on their way… to the other big door. They weren't going to stay in the house? There was MORE to this place? Yes, apparently there was. Lissa pushed the back door open and spoke, "Come on, not much farther."

Truth be told, Robin and Lissa had been conversing the majority of the time. They had finally taken note that Fayt didn't really FEEL like joining and left him to listen. He'd only half been doing so since then. He had to memorize his surroundings if he hoped to escape this place before Mr. Shiny arrived with news that he'd convinced the Exalt to allow him Skewer the white haired one and put him on display.

"Wow…" Fayt said as he stepped out the back door into the sunlight. Another building… this one was huge as well. The front doors had been slid open, and there were numerous people inside the building already. Time to meet the Chrom's men then… err, and women as well. There did appear to be a fair number of those from where he was standing.

With a light swallow, Fayt continued on his rugged trek to the place he hoped FINALLY had somewhere he could sit down. He was going to have those blisters growing inside of his blisters that then had offspring baby blisters. It would be a nightmare… well, he'd never actually had one of those that he could remember, but the word triggered in his mind saying it was a bad dream… which he'd also never had before. Hmm, maybe he was getting the meaning's backwards. Perhaps Dreams were bad and nightmares were the good ones.
