The Archivist
“The whole way back, when I am not half-asleep in the saddle, I have an eerie sense of being watched. I cannot shake the feeling that there is indeed some ghostly presence in the hills around us. I am pretty sure I know what it is, and that makes me even more nervous.
Hell, it would make any sane person nervous.
We come out of the last of the wooded foothills. The remaining land between us and the distant town wall is mostly farmland. Walls are now a universal feature of human enclaves. ...When Intellinet took down the global infrastructure, those remaining settlements which did not fortify themselves right away became the graveyards of civilization. Which I suppose makes me a gravedigger, in a way.
Little Crow pulls up next to me, and wants to know what details I can provide. I give him the short version, because it is the only one I have. Danae was taken, I have no idea by whom or in which direction, and I cannot even say whether she is on foot, horseback or in a wagon.MoreLess
