The warm sunlight poured over the small town in the countryside.
This was not only at the border of Baron Avalon's territory but also at the junction of Glade County and Mamor County.
During the rare midday break, the town clock tower had just been rung not long ago. Tekatu and a few other children from farming families on the outskirts of town slipped away from their still-lunching and resting parents like unbridled colts, stepping on the bumpy roads towards the "Ranger Inn" said to have been built by the Lord in town.
Not for anything else, but because the minstrel living in that inn tells legendary tales from the ends of the earth to the town's residents for free every day.
More importantly, listeners don't have to pay; as long as they have time, they can listen until sunset because it is said that the kind and just Griffin Baron has already paid these poets.
