Stone Circle Not the first not the last

Gunnar stood stalwart staring off into the coming horizon. Not for the first time wondering if he should step down. Taktuq and Tauris made most of the decisions now.

A wild man who bowed to no one.

He was alao getting too old. Forgetting things. Forgetting faces. It was painful and heartbreaking, but it was also reality. He knew it would catch him eventually.
