Welcome back everyone. Join me Monday for "The Year of the Lindworm." Enjoy and review.
The Golden Tolac
Not this time, Zuvowang wouldn't be slaying a monster this time. This time he was to catch something. The Golden Tolac, a tolac named for it's gold colored fur that was incredibly fast to the point nobody could catch it. For his final task, Zuvowang had practically been given the impossible.
Seven days, Zuvowang had been in the mountains. Three times he had chased the Tolac and three times it had escaped him. It had to tire sooner or later.
Again seeing the Golden Tolac, Zuvowang resumed the chase!
Three hours they ran with neither tiring. Forever the Tolac fled and forever Zuvowang pursued.
As he chased his quarry images of Henti and Brigid raced through Zuvowang's head. Henti tied to the mast of a ship came to him, Brigid being thrown to villainous pirates, Wilusa burning as his children were taken away, himself in chains… He had to finish his tasks he had to pay penance! He had to bring Henti and Brigid back to Wilusa or he would die trying!
Finally, the Tolac collapsed from exhaustion. It still lived and as Zuvowang picked it up he felt a great weight lift off his shoulders. He would return the Tolac to Albalonga and then he could return to his search for Henti and Brigid.
The End
