Artesans of Albia: 02 - King's Champion
“He looked up, noting the glitter of the frost-spangled trees. It promised to be a beautiful day, but Taran wasn’t looking for beauty. His thoughts lay elsewhere as he strolled aimlessly, eyes unfocused and heart uneasy.
He had slept poorly the night before and had come out to clear his head. Too many thoughts were crowding his mind and he couldn’t stop their nagging.
